Buck

Buck's Take

1 Nasty Pick on the counter Saturday. Read the receipt before you bet it.

Jets at Titans, Titans PK. Every system has Titans by 3; the market has it a pick'em. That's a Nasty Pick in college. In the NFL I hold power ratings at damn near until they earn more: 54% over eleven years is real, it's just not the full receipt yet. Good bet. Not a Nasty Pick. Size it that way.

Middle Tennessee at Marshall, Middle Tennessee +13. Every system has Marshall by 6.5; the market has Marshall by 13. The number at the book misses the Cut. It's a Nasty Pick at +14.

A little nasty, if you want action: 5 sneakies, Arkansas at Utah Over 55.5 the strongest at 4.2% after the price. Totals haven't beaten the closing number in four seasons, so that's where they stay. Small money, our side, no receipt. The one moving our way is Arkansas at Utah, Over 55.5, down 1 since the open.

If you're playing one, it's Jets at Titans, Titans PK. The ratings make it Titans by 3. Don't tell anyone I said so.

Across the books: opened -14.5, now -13.0. The market has moved 1.8 toward Middle Tennessee, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking. A play at +14.0 or better. It crossed 14 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Weather at kickoff: 5 mph wind, 91°F.

Across the books: opened -11.5, now -13.5. The market has moved 1.8 away from San Diego State, so the number is better than it was, but a move against the ratings usually means news. Check the injury note before taking it.

Texas Southern to win · +1594

Off the band

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

Weather at kickoff: 2 mph wind, 90°F.

Across the books: opened -27.0, now -26.5 (the market moved 0.6 toward Texas Southern).

The ratings sit 13 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 -27.0 here against -26.6 consensus.

TOM: total 52.5 here against 52.9 consensus.

A Little Nasty, not rated

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is the Over 41.0 · -110 at TOM. The totals model is still proving itself.

Weather at kickoff: 6 mph wind, 79°F.

Across the books: opened -3.0, now -6.0 (the market moved 2.8 toward Steelers).

Backup QB out: Michael Penix Jr. (Falcons), Out. Not the starter, so no hold.

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

Also out: Jack Driscoll (OT, Steelers), Cameron Williams (OL, Falcons), Donte Kent (CB, Steelers) and 3 more.

TOM: spread -5.5 here against -6.0 consensus.

Kalshi thin: New England Patriots ML, only $317 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

8 picks voided, not graded, not counted. 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: Michigan State Spartans (spread), Arkansas Razorbacks (spread), Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (spread), Ohio State Buckeyes (moneyline), Minnesota Golden Gophers (moneyline), California Golden Bears (moneyline), Texas A&M Aggies (spread), San Diego State Aztecs (spread).

1 pick voided, not graded, not counted. 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: Texas State Bobcats (spread).

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 totals bet that's measured to work is the stale one above, where a book hasn't moved with the market.

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.

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.

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

75 priced · 1 Nasty Pick · 18 a little nasty · 2 damn near nasty · ratings rebuild before Thu · audit clean

10 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. 19 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. 10 games further out are waiting on those numbers, the first of them Thu 17 Sep, 7:15pm. We don't price a game against ratings we know are about to change.

We read 85 games across 12 books, priced every moneyline, spread and total, and cross-checked them against the Four. 14 were worth a second look. 1 cleared every check.

Since 1:14pm

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.

  • → 3.2West Georgia Wolves at Arkansas State Red Wolvestoward Arkansas State Red Wolveswith the public
  • → 0.5Miami Dolphins at Las Vegas Raiderstoward Miami Dolphinsagainst the public

What the results are teaching us

Every game we price gets graded once it finishes, whether or not we backed it. That's about a hundred measurements a Saturday instead of three, so the model can be checked in weeks rather than months. 12 finished so far, and it takes twenty before any of it means anything.

The line archive

Every book's price, saved on every run. 301223 prices banked. Books that move most are usually the ones reacting to money rather than setting the number.

A number moves 1.14 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.
