FREE NFL PICKS - THE STUPID BOWL - FEB 1 2009
So we have finally arrived. Long journeys are hard and this one has been particularly tumultuous. After a long trip Jiggy likes to relax the old fashioned way.
A couple of beers, a nice burger (or bone-in rib-eye steak) and some hella good French fries. Then afterwards, I like to settle in to a Jacuzzi with a couple of young ladies. And then, this may surprise my readers. I like a nice hand job. After traveling I am too tired for a proper romp and frankly, a blow job from two women can sometimes be overwhelming. I like to reflect on the journey.
So, let’s reflect.
It was a subpar season. Jiggy was close to 500. Jiggy likes seasons where the money flows like wine.
Enough reflecting. Let’s talk about the granddaddy of them all, pro-style.
The Cardinals, barely a play-off team at 9-7 come out of the abysmal NFC west against the Steelers, the vaunted, dynastic franchise. On the face of it, it is an easy pick. But let’s dig down in to the details. Let’s root around in the shit like a pig (or a dog) looking for truffles.
 The QBs – small advantage for the Steelers
Jiggy has had to recognize recently. Jiggy has had to recognize that Kurt Warner is not an old, washed up, jesus freak who can’t play football anymore. Kurt Warner is an old, washed-up, jesus freak who can actually launch the pig. He makes great reads (when he has time) and throws an accurate, catchable ball. And we have spent many column-inches discussing the overvaluation that NFL executives place on physical skills in a QB. Give me a weak armed, slow moving, short QB that makes good, quick decisions over the Ryan Leaf/Michael Vick type anytime. Now, all that being said, Big Ben is the real deal. Big Ben has all the physical tools, but he also has a great head. He makes the right pass, normally at the right time. He is also huge and can take the ball down and run the rock. Bless his heart. Jiggy has to give the QB category to the Steelers.
The WRs – Gigantic, Ron Jeremy-sized advantage for the Cardinals
 Let’s get a little imaginative now. Let’s imagine that advantages aren’t advantages, but penises. Let’s now imagine that the size of the penis is dictated by the absolute value of the difference in talent of a particular category. And then, the side with the advantage wears the penis. So, as an example, having sex with Ellen Degeneres (even if there was some crazy lesbian shit going on) versus having sex with Evangeline Lily. The clear answer is a gargantuan slab of man meat hanging between Evangeline’s legs. The point is that the Cardinals receivers are sportin’ Ron Jeremy cockliness. The WRs on the Cardinals may be the best group ever assembled. I am not kidding. Leo is arguably the best receiver in the league and he was sometimes outplayed by Anquan (who sounds like his last name should be Skywalker) and finally Steve Breaston (he would be good even if he didn’t have the work breast in his name) also brought his A-game frequently. And the Steelers are sporting no cock. They have Hines Ward, a receiver who is absolutely annoying, even to the biggest Steeler fan. He can play, but he isn’t a dominating force. He can’t take over a game the way either of the two big names on Arizona can. And then we step on down to Santonio Holmes. What a mess. The Cardinals just dominate the receiving corps category.
 O-Line – Steelers
The Steel teams always have a good line. Yes, they lost a few guys to free agency, and the Card’s hogs have been playing well but this is a walk over for the Steelers.
RBs – Toss Off
This one is too close to call. The Edge (from the U) is a great back, but he is about 47 years old. And Timmy Hightower can play. Tim Hightower was a pleasant surprise this season. He came from a small school and managed to make an impact this year. He is a baller. On the other side, we have Wee Willie Parker. Wee Willie has put up some big seasons (and holds the record for the longest run in a super bowl) and is a true competitor. So this one is a draw.
TE – Who cares?
Defense – Steelers
 This is where it all comes apart for the Cards. The Steelers are aggressive, strong and angry. They make big plays and they put the fear of God in their opponents. The Cards D has played over their heads all through the play-offs. And Jiggy appreciates getting ‘up’ for the post season. But in the end, everyone has to revert to form. You all know that heavy girl in school, or at the office. She is just a mess. And then the office party comes along and she shows up and actually looks good. For three hours (or seven if you do it like we do it at Wagercom HQ) she brought sexy back. She is lookin’ slinky and buxom, she is working the room, she got the makeup on, she got the fuck-me boots, she got the tight jeans. [Editorial Note: she is probably pulling all kind of Hollywood special effects under the clothes – think girdles, spanks and duct tape.] But the point is that come morning, when she rolls back in to the office, she goes back to being the heavy girl. Sure, she is the heavy girl that made some bad decisions with Jiggy, but she is still the heavy girl. Well, it is time for the Cards defense to roll out of Jiggy’s bed and do the walk of shame back to the office. It is time for their true jiggly, unattractive selves to be revealed. This is the critical point for the game. And Jiggy loves him some Steelers.
Intangibles – Advantage Steelers.
The cards probably just feel lucky to be here (their franchise has never been here before). The Steelers have probably concentrated on winning this game from the beginning of the preseason. There is history and there is a culture of winning in Steelers camp. This won’t be decisive, but it is yet another reason to take the Steelers.
Conclusion – Steelers – 6.5
Here is how Jiggy sees it. The Cardinals just don’t know what it is like to face a defense like the Steelers. It is true that the Eagles run a similar style of defense (lots of aggressive blitzing) but the difference is that the Steelers have better personnel. The Cards will be harassed and Kurt will make some bad throws. And then, once the Steelers have the lead, they will salt it away with their power runners (the back ups to wee willie) and their defense. I am all over the Steelers.
Also the over under…
Jiggy is also on the under 46.5.
Namaste.
Many of my fans ask me where I wager. I have a gambling problem so I bet on everything from the ponies to how long (in inches) my excrement is. But I have been a proud customer to superbook.com for some time. They have good lines, great promotions, many betting options and most importantly, I get my money from them on time. They have signed a deal with Wagercom.com. So if you are looking for an online book, try them out. They are Jiggy tested and Jiggy approved.
