For those of you new to this football betting picks column, our expert NFL football handicapper Jiggy is coming off a money making 2003-20004 and 2004-2005 NFL season.posting a winning record on both his NFL football picks and NFL Lock of the Week against the spread. Each week during the NFL season Jiggy will share his free winning NFL football picks as well as his entertaining take on the current happenings of the NFL.
Week Sixteen Free NFL Football Picks
The halcyon days are finally upon us, the days of miracle and wonder. Jiggy has lost only one game in the last three weeks and money is falling from the sky like the snow falling here in Vail.
When the cash is rolling in, and it has been of late, I like to change my surroundings. I like to enjoy the little things in life. For me, the little things in life include a beautiful condo in Vail, close to the village, but not so close that one can’t escape the riff-raff. I also tend to enjoy high-end booze, blonde hookers (never only one at a time) and powder days. I would tell you that Jiggy predicted the 13” of snow we got on Monday evening, but that would elevate him (me) to oracle, rather than just extremely gifted handicapper. Rummy always says that we go to war with the army we have rather than the army we want. This is how I feel about my life. Sadly, we all can only live out our own destiny. Tragically, mine is that of a well paid sports (and statistics) enthusiast.
I arrived in Vail on Sunday. My porter, Sahib (his name is an ironic twist that is often lost on mere mortals, so if you don’t get it, don’t worry about – if you do, well then, to you sir I say, kampai) assumed that I wouldn’t want to dally, but rather make haste for the slopes. What a silly little man Sahib is? That is tantamount to bringing a pedophile to Napa, California during a Boy Scout convention and expecting him to want to go to a winery. I set Sahib straight and found myself snugly dressed in a charming little sports bar in West Vail. And when I say charming I mean ‘salt of the earth’ charming rather than ‘Ritz Carleton’ charming. The pseudo toothless waitress had never even heard of Grey Goose, in fact, she thought it was a hunting reference.
The inclement weather, homely girls and poor alcohol selection was easily overlooked as each of my teams came in strong. The only blotch on the celestial setting was the Dolphins. Sure, they played a good game, but one just mustn’t give up long plays to fat tight ends.
Before moving on to the straight football, I want to say that we at Wagercom hate the Colts, we hate Tony Dungy, we hate Peyton Manning and we even mildly loathe Edgerrin James (though he did attend The U). But even with all of this bile, we do feel bad for him for the traumatic loss of his son. We wish you the best Tony. We really do.
Around the NFL…
Wow, New England. I am impressed. It almost looked as if you had won two out of the last three Superbowls. Now, even with the headiness of a shutout win, let’s not start ordering lap dances just yet (and when I say lap dances, I mean the O’Farell Brothers kind, not the San Diego Déjà vu kind). You beat Chris Simms and the Bucs. They are strong, but that doesn’t mean you are ready for the big time. I’d like to see the defense play against a real QB. But nonetheless, kudos to the Pats. (And they made money for me, so I am all the happier.)
Denver is damn good. Buffalo ain’t no slouch and they man handled ‘em. (Or at least they did in the second half.)
Seattle may have given us a glimpse of their true colors. They aren’t going to represent the NFC in the Superbowl. They just aren’t tough enough. You cannot give up that many points to the Titans and still be the favorite in the NFC. I mean, they didn;’t even cover for heaven’s sake.
San Diego, ho hum. All of my loyal readers weren’t at all shocked to see SD win. In fact, I would hope that all of you had money on the game (with the points) as well as a little taste on the money line.
Kerry Collins and Norv Turner should both be fired and never return to the NFL. I am serious. They may have some skills and some knowledge, but they are missing some critical component of what it is to be successful at that level. No one should lose to the Browns, and certainly not a team with LaMont (roughly translated in to English means The Mont) Jordan, Randy Moss, Warren Sapp (who earned a purple heart in the civil war – surprisingly, he fought for the South), Joey ‘chuck my bags please’ Porter, etc… The Raiders need some new coaching blood.
Carolina, Pittsburgh (my pick to win the Superbowl right now) and the Niners did well. The Frank Gore era (from The U) is officially upon us – so buckle up. People are going to ask how this guy fell to the third round. And you are going to tell those people to shut the hell up and watch Frank create.
Oh Mike Vick and woe to Brett Favre. You two should play a little finger cuffs with a young coed and try to forget about this season.
On to the Picks…
Now, the NFL picks:
Pats (NE) @ J-E-T-S (NYJ) – NE -5.5
Well, it is that time of year again. It is the time of year where the Pats look good and the rest of the league looks tired and worn out. Tom Brady is handling his gimpiness nicely and the defense is returning to Superbowl form. I am not sure that the Patriots are going to repeat (in fact, earlier in this column I gave the nod to the Steelers) but they are certainly a dominant team this time of year. Additionally, the Jets are in full retreat and quit mode. Their quarterback, the Gutty Badger, Brooks Bollinger isn’t ready for the prime time yet (though I am less of a hater than the rest of the sportswriting community) and without the ageless one, Curtis Martin, this should be a total route. Oh, and did I mention that the Pats have an extra couple of days to prepare? Take the Pats.
Jax @ Houston – Jax -6
I don’t really like talking about the Jax. In fact, I want to be alone. Just take the Jax. Really. (I know this is what I say all the time, but it is still true.)
Hotlanta (Atl) at Tampa Bay – Atlanta +3
The Falcons are average and the Bucs are a little bit tired from their huge defeat. I like Atlanta and the points here. Call me crazy, call me silly, but also call me the guy that hasn’t missed but one game in three weeks. Take the Falcons. Not only because of their star corner, DeAngelo (roughly translated means, Of Anegelo) Hall.
Free NFL Lock of the Week
Dolts (Indy) at Seachickens (Sea) – Dolts +9.5
The colts are in turmoil. The Seahawks are so good! Oh no, the coach of colts isn’t around. Oh no! The Colts aren’t going to play Peyton too long and Edge and Marvin! But the Seahawks are also in the same boat. So the Seahawks are going to lose, or not cover. I love Indy in this game, yet I hate all of their players (how ironic). Take the Colts.
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 sportingbetusa.com for some time (
