Buck's Take

Nothing's nasty enough Monday. Nasty is a standard, not a mood.

A little nasty, if you want action: 5 sneakies; the strongest is NC State +4 (Wake Forest at NC State) at 6.2% after the price. For the couch, not the mortgage.

If you're playing one, keep it a sneaky: Wake Forest at NC State, NC State +4. The number's wrong and the Four agree. That's the receipt.

Buck

Nasty Picks

Nothing's made the Cut yet. Stale numbers switch on inside 48 hours of kickoff.

Nasty Dogs

No dog worth the price this week.

Damn Near Nasty

Nothing close. The books have this slate right, and Buck says so.

A Little Nasty

Sneakies. Not full-blown winners. If you want action, this is where I'd go. Dashed line: the Nasty Number. Dot: where the market is now.

Moving our way: Duke at Georgia Tech, Over 49.5. Best number on the board, half a point better than Pinnacle, and the total has come down 1 point since it opened. A total, so it stays a sneaky.

Sniff of Nasty · Saturday's preview, 24 games from the systems that have rebuilt. Never a pick, never recorded. Strongest: NC State +4, UNLV +3, Iowa +2.5. Open

Sniff of Nasty

College: FPI and Massey and SP+ and Sagarin have seen the last games, SP+ hasn't. NFL: FPI and Massey and Sagarin and nfelo have seen the last games, Sagarin and nfelo haven't. A preview, not a rung: built on the systems that have rebuilt, before the last one has. Nothing here is a pick and nothing here goes in the Receipts. Each game gets its real rung when every system has updated, usually Tuesday morning for college. Strongest first: the tag on each row is what the fresh systems would call it. If you like a number now, this is your head start.

Weather at kickoff: 3 mph wind, 81°F, 81% chance of rain. Total pulled down 1 for it.

Across the books: opened -4.5, now -5.5. The market has moved 1.2 away from New Mexico State, so the number is better than it was, but a move against the ratings usually means news. There's no injury feed for college, so the move is the warning.

Kalshi thin: Florida International Panthers -5.5, only $270 available; New Mexico State Aggies +5.5, only $0 available; Over 45.5, only $190 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

South Florida +6.5 · +110 at FanDuel
Covers 52 in 100 by the Nasty Number. Needs 48 to break even. Worth a look. Where, best first (South Florida): FanDuel +6.5 at +110 (4.1%) · BetMGM +7 at -108 (3.3%) · Caesars +7.5 at -122 (3.1%) · TOM +7 at -109 (3.1%) · Fanatics or DraftKings +7 at -110 (2.9%).
A Little Nasty
South Florida to win · +235 at FanDuel
We make it 34 in 100 to win. The price says 30. That's value. On Kalshi that's 34 cents fair, a play under 29. This is a price bet, not a pick to win: South Florida loses this more often than not. The payout is what's mispriced, so expect to lose most of these and come out ahead on the ones that hit. Where, best first (South Florida to win): FanDuel +235 (3.7%) · Fanatics, BetMGM, DraftKings or Caesars +225 (2.8%) · Kalshi 30¢ (2.0%) · TOM +215 (1.8%) · DraftKings Predictions 30¢ on the app (+212 all-in) (1.5%).

A Little Nasty, not rated

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is South Florida +6.5 · +110 at FanDuel. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Kalshi thin: UTSA Roadrunners -7.5, only $188 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Cowboys -9.5 · -112 (51¢) at Kalshi
Covers 52 in 100 by the Nasty Number. Needs 53 to break even. Not enough.

Massey projects 54 and FPI projects 44. The two sources disagree by 10 points, so one of them is wrong here.

Either of the first two is fine.
Sources disagree

If you're betting it anyway: Buck wouldn't. Nothing here is even the better half of a coin flip.

Kalshi thin: Under 47.5, only $22 available; Dallas Cowboys -9.5, only $32 available; Tampa Bay Buccaneers +9.5, only $263 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

QB out: Baker Mayfield (Buccaneers), Out. Priced at 2.5 points off FPI, Massey, so the number here already carries the backup.

Also out: Emari Demercado (RB, Cowboys), Camden Brown (WR, Cowboys), Ko Kieft (TE, Buccaneers) and 4 more.

TOM: spread -9.5 here against -10.0 consensus.

A Little Nasty, Iowa. Market says Washington by 2.5, the Nasty Number says Washington by 1. At +102 that's too thin to bet. A half point better and it's a play.

A Little Nasty
Iowa to win · +128 at TOM
We make it 48 in 100 to win. The price says 44. That's value. On Kalshi that's 48 cents fair, a play under 44. This is a price bet, not a pick to win: Iowa loses this more often than not. The payout is what's mispriced, so expect to lose most of these and come out ahead on the ones that hit. Where, best first (Iowa to win): TOM +128 (4.5%) · Kalshi or DraftKings +124 (3.7%) · Fanatics +120 (2.9%) · DraftKings Predictions or Caesars +117 (44¢ on the app) (2.3%) · BetMGM +115 (1.9%).

No side

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Iowa +2.5 · +102 at TOM. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 3 mph wind, 61°F, 43% chance of rain.

Across the books: opened -1.0, now -2.5. The market has moved 1.4 away from Iowa, so the number is better than it was, but a move against the ratings usually means news. There's no injury feed for college, so the move is the warning.

Kalshi thin: Under 41.5, only $454 available; Washington Huskies ML, only $29 available; Under 41.5, only $477 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

TOM: total 41.0 here against 41.4 consensus.

TOM: moneyline -146 here against -130 consensus.

NC State +4.0 · -115 at TOM
Covers 60 in 100 by the Nasty Number. Needs 53 to break even. Worth a look. Where, best first (NC State): TOM +4 at -115 (6.2%) · FanDuel or BetMGM +3.5 at -110 (5.8%) · DraftKings +3.5 at -112 (5.4%) · Fanatics +3.5 at -115 (4.7%) · Kalshi +3.5 at 53¢ (3.4%). Either of the first two is fine.
A Little Nasty
NC State to win · +140 at FanDuel
We make it 46 in 100 to win. The price says 42. That's value. On Kalshi that's 46 cents fair, a play under 42. This is a price bet, not a pick to win: NC State loses this more often than not. The payout is what's mispriced, so expect to lose most of these and come out ahead on the ones that hit.

No side

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is NC State +4.0 · -115 at TOM. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 7 mph wind, 71°F.

Across the books: opened +2.0, now +3.5. The market has moved 1.1 away from NC State, so the number is better than it was, but a move against the ratings usually means news. There's no injury feed for college, so the move is the warning. It crossed 3 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Kalshi thin: Wake Forest Demon Deacons -3.5, only $114 available; Wake Forest Demon Deacons -3.5, only $134 available; Over 59.5, only $71 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

TOM: spread +4.0 here against +3.3 consensus.

Across the books: opened -15.0, now -13.5. The market has moved 1.4 toward South Carolina, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking. It crossed 14 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Kalshi thin: Florida Gators -13.5, only $71 available; Over 61.5, only $84 available; Under 61.5, only $77 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

TOM: total 62.5 here against 62.0 consensus.

A Little Nasty, Under 55.5. SP+ and Massey say under by 8.0 points, which is a little nasty, not a bet: the totals model is still proving itself. The side leans San Diego State too: market says Oregon State by 14, the Nasty Number says Oregon State by 12.5, but at +100 that's too thin.

A Little Nasty, Over 50.5. SP+ and Massey say over by 8.1 points, which is a little nasty, not a bet: the totals model is still proving itself. On the side, market says Tennessee by 13.5, the Nasty Number says Tennessee by 13. Nothing there.

2 of 3 systems lean Arkansas. FPI at Tennessee by 15.5 is the holdout, and one system across the market is why this is a lean, not a pick. SP+ hasn't seen the last games yet, so this could change.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is the Over 55.0 · -105 at TOM. The totals model is still proving itself.

Weather at kickoff: 2 mph wind, 61°F.

Kalshi thin: Penn State Nittany Lions -1.5, only $243 available; Over 55.5, only $95 available; Penn State Nittany Lions ML, only $354 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

We make it 43 in 100 to win. The price says 42. Not enough. On Kalshi that's 43 cents fair, a play under 38.

Either of the first two is fine.
No side

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Tulane +3.5 · -115 at FanDuel. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 5 mph wind, 65°F.

Across the books: opened -5.5, now -3.0. The market has moved 2.4 toward Tulane, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking.

Kalshi thin: Tulane Green Wave +3.5, only $39 available; Army Black Knights ML, only $60 available; Army Black Knights -3.5, only $74 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck wouldn't. Nothing here is even the better half of a coin flip.

Weather at kickoff: 15 mph wind, 83°F, 22% chance of rain. Total pulled down 1.8 for it.

Across the books: opened +0.5, now -3.0. The market has moved 3.2 away from Louisiana, so the number is better than it was, but a move against the ratings usually means news. There's no injury feed for college, so the move is the warning.

Kalshi thin: Louisiana Ragin Cajuns +2.5, only $48 available; Under 48.5, only $364 available; Louisiana Tech Bulldogs -2.5, only $15 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

The line is -34.5. Rating differences overshoot on games this lopsided, so whatever gap shows up is arithmetic rather than insight.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Titans +6.5 · +105 (47¢) at Kalshi. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 10 mph wind, 75°F, 36% chance of rain.

Kalshi thin: Tennessee Titans +6.5, only $43 available; Houston Texans -6.5, only $305 available; Over 40.5, only $212 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Also out: Michael Carter (RB, Titans), Kylen Granson (TE, Titans), Marlin Klein (TE, Texans) and 4 more.

Sources disagree

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Giants +3.5 · -114 at FanDuel. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 7 mph wind, 67°F.

Across the books: opened -2.5, now -3.5. The market has moved 0.9 away from Giants, so the number is better than it was, but a move against the ratings usually means news. Check the injury note before taking it. It crossed 3 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Kalshi thin: Washington Commanders -3.5, only $100 available; New York Giants +3.5, only $283 available; Under 43.5, only $336 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Backup QB out: Marcus Mariota (Commanders), Doubtful. Not the starter, so no hold.

QB out: Jayden Daniels (Commanders), Out. Priced at 2.5 points off FPI, Massey, so the number here already carries the backup.

Also out: Terry McLaurin (WR, Commanders), Jaylin Lane (WR, Commanders), Thomas Fidone II (TE, Giants) and 1 more.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck wouldn't. Nothing here is even the better half of a coin flip.

Weather at kickoff: 12 mph wind, 69°F. Total pulled down 0.7 for it.

Across the books: opened -2.5, now +2.5. The market has moved 4.7 away from Packers, so the number is better than it was, but a move against the ratings usually means news. Check the injury note before taking it.

Kalshi thin: Green Bay Packers +2.5, only $5 available; Chicago Bears -2.5, only $140 available; Under 44.5, only $140 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

QB out: Caleb Williams (Bears), Out. Priced at 2.5 points off FPI, Massey, so the number here already carries the backup.

Also out: Ozzy Trapilo (OT, Bears), Kevin Zeitler (G, Packers), Jacob Monk (C, Packers) and 3 more.

TOM: total 44.5 here against 44.2 consensus.

Where, best first (Dolphins to win): BetMGM +320 (2.5%) · FanDuel +315 (2.2%) · TOM +290 (0.7%) · DraftKings +280 (0.0%) · DraftKings Predictions 27¢ on the app (+245 all-in) (-2.7%).

No side

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Dolphins +7.5 · -110 at FanDuel. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 12 mph wind, 87°F, 27% chance of rain. Total pulled down 0.7 for it.

Across the books: opened +9.0, now +7.0. The market has moved 1.9 toward Dolphins, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking.

Kalshi thin: Miami Dolphins +7.5, only $32 available; Over 42.5, only $29 available; Under 42.5, only $199 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Backup QB out: Brady Cook (Dolphins), Out. Not the starter, so no hold.

Also out: Justin Joly (TE, Dolphins), Bryan Cook (S, Bengals), Swayze Bozeman (LB, Bengals) and 1 more.

TOM: total 42.0 here against 42.2 consensus.

TOM: moneyline +303 here against +359 consensus.

What these numbers mean

One flat unit a call, graded at the line and price the board posted. Nasty Dogs are price bets and never count in the Nasty Pick record. "Vs the close" is closing line value: the number we posted against where the market ended up at kickoff. Positive means we got the better number. It shows whether the picks beat the market long before the win-loss record can.

How the last picks finished

Cashed at the cage off the final score, one unit a ticket. Every rung of the ladder, graded at the line and price the board had at kickoff. Open a rung for the games, by week.

10 tickets voided before kickoff, not graded, not counted: 8 posted before the stale-ratings rule, 1 under the edge bar, 1 rejected by the audit.

See which ones

8 posted before the stale-ratings rule. Posted for Sep 12 on ratings that hadn't seen the previous weekend's games, before the stale-ratings rule went in on Sep 8. When the ratings rebuilt they were no longer picks, so they were pulled before kickoff: Eastern Michigan at Michigan State, Michigan State -16.5; Arkansas at Utah, Arkansas -11.5; Tennessee at Georgia Tech, Georgia Tech +13.5; Ohio State at Texas, Ohio State ML; Mississippi State at Minnesota, Minnesota ML; California at Syracuse, California ML; Arizona State at Texas A&M, Texas A&M -14.5; San Diego State at UCLA, San Diego State -11.5.

1 under the edge bar. Posted for Sep 12 from a stale number at the book that showed under the 3% edge bar at the price. Stale-line picks weren't held to the same bar as every other pick until Sep 10, so it was pulled before kickoff: UTSA at Texas State, Texas State +1.0.

1 rejected by the audit. Logged for Sep 12 by a build whose own audit then rejected it (a small-school total, which is never a pick). The bet-log entry is void; the game is tracked as A Little Nasty instead: Lindenwood at Missouri State, Under 54.5.

What a bigger change would have done. Each recorded game day replayed with a candidate setting and scored against the finals (2026-09-21, 2026-09-22, 2026-09-23, 2026-09-25, 2026-09-26, 2026-09-27, 2026-09-28, 2026-09-28).

Four seasons, measured

Every FBS game with a closing line, 2022 to 2025: 5,814 games. The bets below are graded against the close, with no prices, so 52.4% is break-even at -110. These numbers set the rules; the live record above is what tests them.

Why ratings totals are a little nasty, not picks. We built a totals model from pace and per-play efficiency using only what was known before each kickoff, 2022 to 2025, 3,751 games. Betting it whenever it was 3+ points off the closing total went 1177-1044, 53.0%: break-even, with two of four seasons under it, and it missed final scores by more than the market did. The closing total is the sharpest number on the board. The one totals bet that has measured above break-even is the stale one above, where a book hasn't moved with the market, and even that is shown here, never a pick, until the Receipts say otherwise.

Margins land on 3 about 3.0x and on 7 about 3.0x as often as the numbers either side, which is why a half point through those numbers is priced the way it is.

Under the hood

28 graded bets. Enough to start reading, not enough to be sure of.

Closing line value
+0.08Sides: pts vs close, 28 bets, beat it 54%

Positive means we got a better number than the close. It's the earliest honest read on whether the picks beat the market.

The head start: 133 Sniffs of Nasty, then the real rung

A Sniff of Nasty is the read from the systems that have rebuilt, before the last one has. This is what the market did between that read and the day the game got its real rung: 58 of 133 moved our way, average +0.4 points, and the full board kept the side 51 times, flipped it 4, went quiet 78. Not a record; nothing here is graded.

Totals by source, every finished game

Each totals source graded on every game we priced, called or not: how far it misses the final, and when it disagrees with the market by 2 or 4 points, how often its side lands. Break-even is 52.4%. This is the study behind the totals switch; the switch stays off until a source clears it over 150 games. Not a record.

How Nasty Picks works

Nasty Picks finds the bets worth making on the college football and NFL board, says why, and grades every one in public at the number it posted.

Four ingredients go in the Nasty Sauce. The Sauce makes the Nasty Number. The Nasty Number has to make the Cut to be a Nasty Pick. Every Nasty Pick goes in the Receipts.

The Four

SP+, FPI, Sagarin and Massey for college. nfelo, FPI, Sagarin and Massey for the NFL. Four opinions, none of them ours.

The Sauce

The Four blended toward the market, because the market has already read them. Ratings get 30%, the market 70%.

The Cut

3% edge after the price when the Four all price the game and agree. More when fewer do. Under it is Damn Near Nasty, or a sneaky.

The Receipts

Every ticket cashed at the number it was written at. No edits, no deletions. Voids say why.

Points or price

A half point matters most on the numbers games land on: 3 and 7 in the NFL; 3, 7, 10 and 14 in college. Anywhere else, ten cents of price beats a half point. The Sauce prices every half point at every number, so when two books disagree the row says which wins, and by how much. Take the best one you hold.

Then the tools: build detail, the funnel, what moved, the line archive, ratings freshness, and the bet log.

74 priced · 26 a little nasty · audit clean

Not every source loaded: SP+ hasn't changed in 8 days, so it may be stale at the source. Anything that depends on those is missing from the board rather than guessed at.

We read 74 games across 20 books, priced every moneyline, spread and total, and cross-checked them against the Four. 1 was worth a second look. nothing made the Cut, which happens.

Since 11:16am

Nothing has moved.

Where the money went

Numbers that walked one way and stayed there. We can't see betting percentages, so this reads direction instead: the public backs favourites, so a line moving toward the underdog is money coming from somewhere else.

What the results are teaching us

Graded from every game we priced, not just the ones we backed.

0%Best weight on our ratings
10.76Points off per game at that weight
10.76The market on its own
243Games graded

Fitted straight from the finals, the weight is 6%, give or take 20% (one standard error, 243 games). The tuner moves when that band clears the setting in use.

The market's own number is as good as anything we can make from it so far. That argues for leaning on the price and hunting stale lines rather than backing our opinion.

What it changed by itself

The weight on our own ratings tunes itself, three points at a time, once there's enough evidence: 300 graded games for college, 90 for the NFL because a season only holds 272. The smaller sample has to show a proportionally bigger improvement before it's acted on. Nothing else adjusts on its own.

A number moves 1.24 points on average between when we first see it and kickoff. That's the size of the prize for getting a good number early, and the size of the risk in taking one too early.
