NFL Week 7 Free Picks & Column
I love this time of year, I really do.
First of all it is Halloween. And as we all know, (even the NY Times knows) that Halloween is the time when all good girls dress like hookers. I have selected some of the costumes that our fans wear in the pictures they send in.
 While on the costume front, I am afraid that we (the collective we) now have a cause. (I am not sure if it is a cause celebre – but it should be). Jiggy has never asked anything of his readers. Jiggy has provided entertainment and gambling acumen for free. But now it is time for you readers to give back. Courtney Simpson (aka Cory Heart) is in trouble and we as readers must come (partial pun) to her aid. Courtney, an ASU cheerleader and an adult film actress has married her vocation and avocation. I would argue this is more natural than the peanut butter and chocolate of a Reese’s, more wholesome than a burger and fries and more American than apple pie and ice cream. But sadly, The Man doesn’t agree. Ms. Simpson-Heart opted to wear her ASU Cheerleader costume in an adult video. Bravo I say – in fact, this is a little something I like to call synergy (a nice pun could have been sinergy, but we don’t go for low jokes here at wagercom.com.) The article about the lawsuit can be read here. I call on you all to write to your congressperson about this, I ask all of you to email ASU and I also urge you to buy one of our Free Courtney/Cory shirts (coming soon). Some of the proceeds from that sale will go to Ms. Simpson-heart (because I will use the money to buy her DVDs – but it is all for a good cause).
Where was I? Oh yes, the time of year…
During the fall, the football season is in its teen years. What I mean by that is that the little breasts are emerging, bodies are firming and personalities are taking root.
Dating in high school is risky (in the financial sense of risk or variability of return). I always though that risk should be defined as the probability that you will lose your money. But technically, a stock that has the following returns over a five year period (22%, 45%, 81%, 9%, 207%) is riskier than a stock whose returns are (4%, 2%, -2%, -9%, -1%) if the market returns zero over that time. I won’t bore you with covariance and beta, but let me explain how this relates to high school girls vis-à-vis mid twenties girls.
In high school there is pressure from all sides for girls to conform. They all have to pretend that they are grossed out by certain things and that they like certain things. For instance, all girls in high school are supposed to enjoy the classic, fingerbang. And there is considerable pressure for all of them to not enjoy threesomes, analingus or the dirty fonzzi. The result is that all girls tend to look and act the same. That is true until you get them in to the bedroom. When it is ‘quiet time’ and there are no gaggles of friends looking on, the girls can start to express their true desires. Some of them may hate all sexual contact – these are to be avoided. Some of them may be wild and in to ANYTHING. This is what I affectionately call ‘winning the lottery.’ It is all a crap shoot. The correlation between the way they look and the way they act is very weak.
But as life goes on and women start to encase themselves with like-minded friends, dress according to their likes and choose professions, surroundings and careers based on those tastes. The decisions that they make as they learn more about themselves and have more freedom to make choices results in their outward appearance being more in tune with their personality.
 The same is true of football teams. In the beginning of the season, they all look the same (their records are all 0-0). In the very early part of the season we have odd upsets, weird calls by officials and freakishly smart (and stupid) play calling. In essence, the first four games of the season are the pre-pubescent years. The middle of the season (where we are now) is the high school years. And as we are nearing the end of high school, we can think of all of these teams as juniors and seniors (according to your tastes). And now we are starting to get an idea of which teams will be kinky, little whores who love to please and which teams are prissy, boring women who will marry young and stop giving their husband oral sex before their first anniversary.
So who are the good girls (teams) and who are the bad girls (teams)?
Teams that are blossoming:
San Diego – Jiggy’s pick for best team in the league right now.
Indy – Strong offense, weak schedule, good, not great.
Chicago – Nice save on Monday. Special thanks to Denny Green for snapping defeat from the jaws of victory. The Cardinals are finding a way to lose. The Bears were exposed, but they are still blossoming nicely.
Dallas – Looking strong and getting stronger. It will be interesting to see if Bledsoe keeps his job and more interesting to see if the team performs better or worse with Romo.
Cincy- Feeling it and shaking off the early season slumber.
Teams that aren’t:
The Jokeland Raiders – Arguably the worst team in the NFL in many years.
Tennessee – Vince Young should be moved to running back or wideout. It would be better for him and better for the Titans.
Green Bay – Poor Brett Favre. No offensive line = no offense.
Detroit/Arizona – Both of these organizations have fine athletes, but they have a losing attitude. These teams need to change upper management and start fresh.
Miami – Oh what could have been?
I also want to put a picture of Sasha Grey and Maya Hills here because they deserve it.
 
Interesting observations from the sixth week.
The Arizona Cardinals are mentioned above – but the point is that Leinart can really play and that the team is somewhat cursed. Additionally, Rex (of the Monsters of the Midway) looked like the Rex of old. Let’s see if he can right the ship or if he has lost his marbles.
Bravo to Detroit, Tampa and Tennessee. Enjoy it while it lasts, for another win may be far away. Props to Jiggy for predicting the prowess of Mr. Gradkowski.
San Diego is still dominant. And when Marty let’s Phil Rivers throw, good things happen.
It is nice to see that Big Ben has found his MoJo. We expect the Steelers will continue to improve.
Dallas showed what they are capable of. Their defense wasn’t tested, but their offenses gave a glimpse of what this team can be.
On to the free NFL picks…
Bolts (SD) at Chefs (KC)– Bolts -5
Jiggy thinks the Chargers are the class of the NFL right now and they are giving less than a TD to the hapless, Herm Edwards-run Chefs. Take the Bolts and give the points.
The Desert Snake (Den) at Charlie French Frye (Cle) – Denver-4.5
All Denver does is hold teams to few points and score a few themselves. This one will end at 17-3. Take the Broncos and give the points.
Denny Green (Az) at Jokeland (Oak) – Az -3
Leinart can ball and the Cards will need to show the world that they aren’t complete incompetents (are they?). The great news is that they get to go to the raiders. That means they can go to Mitchell Brothers and get an easy win. Take the Cards.
Motown (Det) at Leon Washington (NYJ) – NYJ -3.5
Detroit is a doomed franchise. The Jets are marginally OK. Take the home team and give the measly 3.5
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 (
