Looking on the bright side, I had a +400% return on investment on NASCAR. That's right, I won my dollar contest for a $5 payday. Apparently all you have to do is pick the winner of the Nationwide race and the guys who finish 1-2-3 in the Sprint Cup race. Easy.
Uh, right.
It was another disappointing week on the football side, as I cashed in only 1 of 5 contests. Net loss of about twenty two bucks. My team scores weren't awful, they simply weren't good enough.
I did manage to beat Dr. Pauly's score in Sundays With Dr. Pauly, so I have a streak of one in a row on the way to three and a seat in the Tournament of Champions. I am barely hanging on to first place in the Blogger Battle, but Buffalo66 has really closed the gap over the last two weeks (you want to see a killer week? +110% ROI - go check it out. That's beyond description).
I need to get back on track.
One bad selection can be all it takes to disrupt things. For me, it was of all things a defense. Defense. The red-headed stepchild of fantasy football. I feel like Jim Mora. "Defense? You talkin bout defense?" Or maybe I'm channeling Allen Iverson. I forget.
Anyway, I took a gamble on a cheap, lousy defense - San Francisco - playing at home, with new head coach Mike Singletary, against a Seattle team starting a backup quarterback, wide receivers picked out of the stands and not much of a running game. FAIL. Seneca Wallace turned into Joe Montana and the Seahawks won in a rout. Minus 4 points from the defense.
The contest I won was where I did not have the SF D.
Next week, I will be upgrading my defense. It will leave fewer points to spend on skill positions, but it's necessary - it's too hard to overcome a zero or negative score.

Thanks for the props.
You slayed the NASCAR contest. Glad you didn't play the $5.50.
Spend money on DEF in football. The difference between #3 and #7 WR/RB is rather minimal, but the difference between #4 and #1 DEF is huge.
