I hope some of you won some money last week following Jiggy's advice. His free NFL football picks went 3 and 1 last week including a nice victory on his NFL lock of the week pick. Each week he will offer up (for free) his expert NFL football picks against the spread. Including his bonus lock of the week. Jiggy comes to Wagercom with much experience handicapping football and betting on NFL point spreads. Check out his week four free NFL picks against the spread below:
WEEK FOUR NFL FORECAST
Ahh, to bask in being right. I don’t know about those of you that read this column, but I parlayed my three morning NFL picks last week and was eating filet mignon with the winnings during the late game. (It was actually wings ‘n beer at Hooters – but to some of us that is better than the finest steak.) It was charming watching the Bucs assert their dominance over those pathetic Falcons. We needed a little luck in the Minnesota game especially with their fearless leader, Daunte, off cavorting with Britney Spears and Madonna in the locker room (he was actually getting x-rays – but I like to put a happy face on things). And of course it was fabulous seeing Mr. Porter (as the Steelers covered for the faithful) back in the game despite a bullet hole in his ass – now that is dedication. And the one black eye of the week, the hometown Redskins. I would love to have seen the Skins pull it out so that I could have gone 4-0 this week. But my misfortune is your good luck, for if I had won that last one, I wouldn’t be writing this column, I would be in Vegas spending dollar bills on sweet, young women at some less-than reputable establishments. (This brother loves the thongs.) But Spurrier’s soldiers couldn’t play D in overtime and Fairy Collins brought the G-men to the promised land. Alas and alack.
What else is ‘of note?’ The week was interesting in that we saw a few trends continue… the Raiders are still deplorable. People, please. It isn’t brain surgery, you throw the ball, you catch the ball, you tackle ball carriers, but for some reason they make it look impossible. I did bet the Monday game, but to get all my NFL football picks you need to pay some sort of huge fee to Wagercom (I just write here). [editorial note: Wagercom currently offers all football picks for free. If there is a particular NFL game that you want Jiggy's opinion on feel free to send an email to jiggy@wagercom.com with your request. If he isn't busy handling his own football bets or fantasy football team he should get back to you]. It was almost as much fun watching the 8th string back in Denver run over the raiders as watching Tampa spanking the Falcons. WOW – Miami’s defense woke up. Someone reminded them that they have like 13 starting pro-bowlers and should not let anyone get a single yard ever. I have a real strong fetish for good ‘D.’ I am going to assume that these guys are for real and they weren’t just possessed for 60 minutes.
Niners and Packers both lost… to Arizona and Cleveland. This is depressing, demoralizing and ugly. These two franchises used to hold their heads up high. Sure, their personnel has changed over the years, but they seemed to have some innate ability to always beat the weaker teams in the league. Don Majikowski, Tim Rattay, Drukenmiller – all of these guys won some games. So what in the world went wrong with Garcia and Favre??? I will leave that one for the Janine Lindenmuller in the sky to ponder. And while we are on the subject of formerly good players getting really lousy. What in the world happened to Buffalo? Did anyone else notice that Bledsoe couldn’t have completed a sentence, let alone a pass. And the running game should have been called the stumbling game. There is no way that happens again. The Bills will turn it around but I don’t want to be the person holding up that house of cards when it collapses, so stay away from them this week and see what happens. Anyway, we have to get on to the free NFL football picks for the week.
Tenn @ Pitt – 3
This is going to be a great game. Mcnair is gutty like carrottop is annoying. And the Pitt defense is serious. But when you have a chronically injured QB waltzing into the stadium of the 17th ranked defense, only bad things can happen. The funny thing is that in terms of points scored against, the Titans are ranked one spot ahead of the Steelers. But in terms of total offense, the Steelers are just too tough. They are ranked 10th and average about 24 points per game. The home field advantage coupled with the dynamic receiving corps gives the game to the Steel Curtain. This one will be close, so be prepared with a bedpan.
Chefs -3 (Chiefs) @ “Ray Ray” Ravens –3
I am not sure exactly how the chefs are doing it, but they are beating everyone. Some of it may have to do with their stud, Priest Holmes. So let’s break it down, the Ravens have a very talented Defense. But sadly, they allow more points than the Chiefs. The Chiefs have a really talented offense, while the Ravens are inept. Their defense is likely to outscore their own offense this week. Look for the Chiefs to win and look for the Baltimore offense to just plain hurt themselves. Like a friend of mine always says, sometimes it is ok to get raped by a pair of rusty scissors, but usually it just plain hurts. I am not sure how that relates, but don’t take the Ravens here, Kyle Boller just isn’t man enough to get the job done.
Bolts (Chargers) +7 @ Raider Nation
I think it is fine to miss a game on TV every once in a while. I think it is even ok to Tivo one and watch it later. I think it is ok to receive oral sex during games, causing one’s attention to stray. But for pete’s sake, if you are a handicapper it is not ok to forget about the Monday Night game. Did anyone else notice that the Raiders were terrible. They were sad, slow, predictable, weak and generally lacked heart. I am a contrarian in many ways, and I do think the Raiders will eventually get it together, but this ain’t the time. The Chargers don’t lose by 7 and they could even win the game.
LOCK OF THE WEEK –‘Oh no he didn’t just pick the Cowboys’
Tuna (Cowboys) + 3 @ Testaverde (Jets)
Here is how I see it. Bill Parcels has shown me that he knows how to compete. He manages to get the best out of his players (and they are crappy players – except Aveion Cason - the man can flat play – go buy his football card) and he manages to outthink his opposing coaches. I am not sure how he does it, but he finds a way to win. On the other hand you have Herman Edwards. Let me say that again, on the other hand you have Herman ‘that’s why they call it football’ Edwards. Oh yeah, and if that weren’t enough you have Vinny at the helm for these jokers. Dallas has quietly become a very effective offense and the JETS have loudly failed. This one will be exciting to watch, lots of turnovers and crazy things happening. But in the end the Tuna takes it. So bet it and enjoy Quincy Carter. (I know, we are all laughing thinking about Quincy being a real NFL player – but if that kid with one leg can play for SJSU, then it is believable that the kid with half a brain can play for the Cowboys.)
