Buck's Take

Three Nasty Picks on the counter for Saturday: Georgia Tech -3, Nevada +5 -105 at TOM and Texas A&M +9.5 -108 at BetMGM. Straight bets. Don't make it a parlay.

UCLA at Maryland, Maryland +3. Every system has Maryland by 0.5; the market has UCLA by 3. The number at the book misses the Cut. It's a Nasty Pick at +3.5.

A little nasty, if you want action: 5 sneakies; the strongest is Hawai'i -2 (Hawai'i at Wyoming) at 4.4% after the price. For the couch, not the mortgage. The one moving our way is Louisiana at Charlotte, Over 49, down 2.5 since the open.

Since the last build, UCLA at Maryland climbed to Damn Near Nasty.

If you're playing one, it's the receipt: Georgia Tech at Stanford, Georgia Tech -3. Conviction is the whole point of the rung. This is it.

Moving our way: Louisiana at Charlotte, Over 49. The total has come down 2.5 points since it opened. A total, so it stays a sneaky.

Across the books: opened +5.5, now +3.0. The market has moved 2.5 away from Georgia Tech, 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.

The number is 1.5 points worse and the price is 2 cents worse, from -108 to -110, and that's a different bet from the one we posted, pushes counted. If you already have it at +9.5, you're set. It's a play again at +9.5 -108 or better. Market says LSU by 8, the Nasty Number says LSU by 7.

Across the books: opened +5.5, now +2.0. The market has moved 3.3 away from Hawai'i, 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.

A Little Nasty, Tulsa. Market says Arkansas by 7, the Nasty Number says Arkansas by 6. At -108 that's too thin to bet. A half point better and it's a play. The total leans Over 50.5 as well.

Tulsa +7.0 · -108 at BetMGM
Covers 55 in 100 by the Nasty Number. Needs 52 to break even. Worth a look. Where, best first (Tulsa): BetMGM or TOM +7 at -108 (3.1%) · FanDuel +7.5 at -122 (2.9%) · Caesars +7 at -109 (2.8%) · Kalshi +6.5 at 47¢ (2.8%) · DraftKings +7 at -110 (2.6%). Either of the first two is fine.
A Little Nasty
Tulsa to win · +235 at FanDuel
We make it 33 in 100 to win. The price says 30. That's value. On Kalshi that's 33 cents fair, a play under 29. This is a price bet, not a pick to win: Tulsa 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 (Tulsa to win): FanDuel +235 (3.5%) · BetMGM +225 (2.6%) · DraftKings +220 (2.1%) · Kalshi 30¢ (1.8%) · Caesars +215 (1.6%).

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Tulsa +7.0 · -108 at BetMGM. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 5 mph wind, 78°F.

Across the books: opened -9.5, now -7.0. The market has moved 2.4 toward Tulsa, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking.

Kalshi thin: Under 50.5, only $98 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is UConn +3.0 · -112 at BetMGM. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 6 mph wind, 68°F.

Across the books: opened -5.5, now -3.0. The market has moved 2.6 toward UConn, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking. It crossed 3 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

TOM: total 52.5 here against 52.1 consensus.

Across the books: opened +3.0, now +3.5. The market has moved 0.5 away from USC, 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.

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, 70°F. Total pulled down 0.7 for it.

Across the books: opened -29.0, now -28.5 (the market moved 0.7 toward Robert Morris).

Kalshi thin: Robert Morris Colonials ML, only $424 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

The ratings sit 11 points off the market here. A gap that big usually means a rating is stale, not that the market is wrong, so the number is discounted.

Kalshi thin: Under 58.5, only $26 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

The ratings sit 15 points off the market here. A gap that big usually means a rating is stale, not that the market is wrong, so the number is discounted.

Blowout line

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

Weather at kickoff: 10 mph wind, 91°F.

Kalshi thin: Under 60.5, only $25 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

The ratings sit 9 points off the market here. A gap that big usually means a rating is stale, not that the market is wrong, so the number is discounted.

TOM: spread -39.0 here against -38.4 consensus.

Patriots +3.0 · -116 at TOM
Covers 56 in 100 by the Nasty Number. Needs 54 to break even. Too thin for the price. Where, best first (Patriots): Kalshi +2.5 at 47¢ (2.3%) · Caesars +3 at -115 (2.2%) · TOM +3 at -116 (2.0%) · DraftKings +3 at -118 (1.6%) · Fanatics +2.5 at +100 (1.0%). Either of the first two is fine.

We make it 45 in 100 to win. The price says 43. Not enough. On Kalshi that's 45 cents fair, a play under 41. Where, best first (Patriots to win): Kalshi 41¢ (2.8%) · DraftKings, Caesars, FanDuel, BetMGM, Fanatics or TOM +130 (2.0%).

No side

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Patriots +3.0 · -116 at TOM. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 9 mph wind, 85°F.

Kalshi thin: New England Patriots ML, only $43 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Also out: Patrick Mekari (G, Jaguars), Sam Mustipher (C, Jaguars), Dell Pettus (S, Patriots) and 5 more.

TOM: spread -3.0 here against -2.7 consensus.

TOM: total 46.0 here against 45.7 consensus.

ReBet still has Patriots +3.5 while Pinnacle is at Jaguars by 2.5. Far enough off to be a pick, but not a book we can bet.

Buck

A Little Nasty, Under 43, for the weather. 16 mph wind, worth about 2.1 off the total. If the market's total hasn't come down for it by the time you look, the under is the bet. On the side, market says Bengals by 3.5, the Nasty Number says Bengals by 3. Nothing there.

Kalshi thin: Over 49.5, only $96 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Also out: Trey Pipkins III (OT, Chargers), Kayode Awosika (G, Chargers), Jordan Hancock (CB, Bills) and 3 more.

BetRivers still has Bills -7.0 while Pinnacle is at Bills by 7.5. Far enough off to be a pick, but not a book we can bet.

Buffalo Bills has had 9 days off against 6, worth about 0.2 points.

Weather at kickoff: 16 mph wind, 62°F, 65% chance of rain. Total pulled down 3.1 for it.

Across the books: opened +2.5, now +7.5. The market has moved 5.2 toward Seahawks, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking. It crossed 3 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Kalshi thin: Under 39.5, only $20 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

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

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Eagles -3.5 · -103 at TOM. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Kalshi thin: Chicago Bears ML, only $41 available; Chicago Bears +3.5, only $11 available; Philadelphia Eagles -3.5, only $369 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

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

Also out: Dallas Goedert (TE, Eagles), Anthony Johnson Jr. (S, Bears).

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Jaguars +3.0 · -110 at DraftKings. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Kalshi thin: Jacksonville Jaguars ML, only $199 available; Jacksonville Jaguars ML, only $477 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

The Receipts

The cage. Every ticket the board wrote, cashed or not, graded at the number on it. No edits, no deletions, no "we had that one."

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.

Bets you tick are kept in this browser for now. The group leaderboard comes with the public version, once there's somewhere to send them.

Every game we price is graded once it finishes, whether or not we backed it. This is that study, per sport, with the sample size beside each number. Totals by source and the record by call sit under the hood below. Not a record; nothing here is a pick. Updated 2026-09-26 09:39.

The head start. 85 Sniffs of Nasty have landed on a rung: the market moved toward the Sunday number 28 times, against it 22, average 0.21 points; the full board kept the side 41 times, flipped 4, went quiet 40.

What a bigger change would have done. Each recorded game day replayed with a candidate setting and scored against the finals (2026-09-17, 2026-09-18, 2026-09-19, 2026-09-20, 2026-09-21, 2026-09-22, 2026-09-23, 2026-09-23). The first row is the board as it runs; a lower miss is better. Nothing here moves a setting; the loop does that from the ledger.

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

It's 14 graded bets. That tells you nothing yet, in either direction. Ask again after fifty.

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: 85 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: 28 of 85 moved our way, average +0.2 points, and the full board kept the side 41 times, flipped it 4, went quiet 40. 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.

College, 119 finished games. The market's total misses the final by 12.0 points on average.

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.

67 priced · 3 Nasty Picks · 13 a little nasty · 1 damn near nasty · ratings rebuild before Thu · audit clean

9 games further out are not being priced yet: the ratings rebuild after this weekend, and betting a number we know is about to change isn't worth doing. 13 games already kicked off and are left off the board. Once a game starts the feed gives live in-play prices, which a pregame rating can't be compared against.
Next picks

Monday, once the ratings rebuild on this weekend's results. 9 games further out are waiting on those numbers, the first of them Thu 1 Oct, 7:15pm. We don't price a game against ratings we know are about to change.

We read 76 games across 22 books, priced every moneyline, spread and total, and cross-checked them against the Four. 6 were worth a second look. 3 cleared every check.

Since 11:48am

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
9.96Points off per game at that weight
9.96The market on its own
93Games graded

Fitted straight from the finals, the weight is 20%, give or take 25% (one standard error, 93 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.

Does the score sort anything?

Every game we priced, grouped by the score we gave it, and how often the side we leaned actually covered. If the rate doesn't climb with the score, the ranking isn't working.

The line archive

Every book's price, saved on every run. 844164 prices banked. Books that move most are usually the ones reacting to money rather than setting the number.

A number moves 1.26 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.

How current the ratings are

None of these publishes an update time, so this is measured rather than reported: how long since the numbers themselves last moved. Early in the season they're mostly preseason projections whatever the date says.
