Can anyone tell me what this football jig head without a weed guard would be used for?

Speed Craw, can also be rigged like a shakey head, I use them some off shore around hard bottom points with structure.
Put a magnum trick worm, brush hog or a lizard on it and work it around gravel or rocky points or shell beds.
I've seen folks put them in tubes, especially for fishing around gobies, but the main thing that comes to mind when I see those is grub fishing, specifically a hula grub.
Past that, you can really fish it anywhere where you've got "well behaved" rocks and no wood. It'll come through really well, and the hookup percentage is insanely high compared to something with a weedguard. As bwhit mentioned, you can also use the bait keeper to make something similar to a shakey head.

"The man of system is apt to be very wise in his own conceit; and is often so enamored with the supposed beauty of his own ideal plan of government that he cannot suffer the smallest deviation from any part of it…He seems to imagine that he can arrange the different members of a great society with as much ease as the hand arranges the different pieces upon a chessboard.” Adam Smith, The Theory of Moral Sentiments

Red Sox in 6!
i run a tube with them
I use them all the time on flats with lots of gravel, small rock and sand. Usually tip them with a UV Speed Craw and grind them across the bottom.

I'll cast another vote for the grub application. Though I personally find myself wanting a light wire guard on most of my jigs when the hook is exposed like that. You might have to spend a little more money for them, but it's worth it in the long run because you're not loosing as many jigs.
