For those of you new to this football betting picks column, our expert NFL football handicapper Jiggy is coming off a money making 2003-2004, 2004-2005, and 2005-2006 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.
NFL Week 14 Free Picks & Column
 Before I begin (damn, I already have), I want to wish all of you a Rowdy Ramadan, a Krazy Kwanza (please disregard double K as it is NOT, I repeat NOT an allusion to the KKK – I was just getting my alliteration on), a Hilarious Hannukah and of course a very Merry Christmas. For me, a Jew, it is always a wonderful time of year. [Sidenote – when is Ramadan anyway?]
Christmas comes with baggage. There is the need to buy gifts, and now that I am happily married I understand the weight of having to buy the ‘right gift.’ Let me explain. Sure, the Jig is not afraid to drop serious coin on a gift – the trick is that women want odd things. I thought that the cherished and only woman in my life (when I am not in Vegas, Miami, Philly and Detroit – don’t ask) would want to look nice in our box at the Niners game. So I had Vikky Quiet (my little pet name for Victoria’s Secret) make some special (very special) Diamond Encrusted, Niners themes lingerie. Apparently that isn’t “thoughtful.” Apparently I “rarely think of anyone but myself.” Apparently I “only think about sex and football.” You know what, sue me.
 Anyway, back to the point. The Christmas season brings with it gift anxiety. It also has all of these strangely moral overtones. I feel that society wants me (or would want me if I were Christian) to be nice to homeless people, help the weak, shelter the poor… Blah, blah, blah. When I see those ads, cards and billboards, I take solace in the fact that they couldn’t possibly be directed at me. I mean for all I know, Santa may blame me personally for the crucifixion of Jesus. Which I want to point out was actually facilitated by Romans. I was just perusing John 19 and it looks like the soldiers crucified Jesus (Jews have only recently become soldiers in Israel – like since 1948). But anyway, I love Christmas despite all of the drama associated with it. The reason I love Christmas is because of the outfits that strippers, prostitutes, porn stars and good girlfriends and wives wear.
 Friends, Romans, Countrymen (who doesn’t dig a little Shakespeare reference?) who can’t get behind (in every sense of the phrase) a woman in a Santa hat, candy cane thigh highs and something red? I know it makes me want to convert to Catholicism every year. And what’s more, the cheerleaders in the NFL seem to get with the program as well. So I love this time of year.
Then there is the more mundane, but far more profitable reason to love this time of year. The NFL is heading toward playoff time and the college games are abounding with bowls. So we can make tons (and tons) of money. That money could be well spent on Niners themed jewelry or lap dances from Santa clad strippers.
Ho Ho Ho.
What happened last week?
The Niners fell victim to Reggie. Sad really. The Niners just need to tackle better and they are right in that game. But I guess the scouts mentioned that Reggie Bush is somewhat elusive before the draft.
The Chargers should remember that some of their fans like them because they cover, not because they win. So when it is late in the game and you have a chance to put it away – do that. They are still Jiggy’s pick to win the Superbowl – but if I had to pick right now, it would be against Dallas.
Cincy is back (though Jiggy has always been a fan).
Maybe I need to rethink my whole, ‘Vince Young will be out of the NFL and selling cars (or insurance or real estate) in three years’. Nah, I don’t. But a great win nonetheless.
Poor Brett Favre.
My bad on the whole Oakland thing. One would think that they had some semblance of a chance at home against arguably the second worst team in the NFL – but they didn’t.
On to the free NFL picks…
Derek Anderson (Cle.) @ Big Ben (Pit.) – Pit -7
The Steelers and their terrible towels will be too much for Cleveland. Sure they got a garbage win last week – but they have had little time to practice and probably don’t even know who their starting QB is going to be. Imagine having only one full day of practice before facing the defending superbowl champions and forcing your QBs to split reps.
The Steelers are still a good squad – they just have had some issues. Look for Big Ben and Wee Willy to right the ship tonight! Take the Steelers and give the points. (Side note, I am all over the teaser of Steelers -1 and Over 27).
Reggie, Reggie, Reggie (NO) @ Romo, Romo, Romo (Dal.) – Dallas -7
The Saints are going to be a little drained from their drubbing of the Niners and they have an undeserved confidence about them. The Cowboys tackle WAY better than the Niners and the Romo, Marion Barber III, Julius Jones and TO show is far too much for the lowly Saints to handle. Look for the defense of the Boys to rise up and take care of this one. Special aside here, if in fact Romo is dating Jessica Simpson – then I am going back to a division II school and using my NCAA football eligibility. She should totally be with me, but that douchebag has swindled her away. So Wrong. Take the Cowboys.
Confirmed Child Molester, Peyton Manning (Indy.) @ Model Citizen, David Garrard (Jax) – Indy -1.5
Um? I know that Indy has had it rough the last couple of weeks, but they are still a stellar squad. As a concerned citizen of the planet Earth, I don’t like Peyton Manning roaming the streets anymore than you do, but the man can launch the pig (throw the ball very far). Take the Colts and enjoy.
Rex G! (Chi) @ Mouthy Marc (St.L.) – Sweet Home Chicago -6
 I never understood that song. I mean Chicago has some great qualities. The pizza is amazing, Wrigley is a beautiful field (so beautiful in fact that it numbs the pain of having to sit through a baseball game), and Harold’s Fried Chicken is life affirming. But after that, there is little redeeming and certainly nothing sweet about Chicago. It is bitterly cold, the architecture is stark and the women are mostly (I know I will get letters from the three cute girls in town) homely and heavy. In any event, the Bears are too strong on defense for the Lambs. We know that Rex is going through one of his episodes (though the old ball coach did call him the best pure passer he has ever seen) but even his ineptitude shouldn’t derail the Bears. Look for the Bears defense to outscore the lambs. Take the Bears and lay the points.
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 (
