Buck's Take

Four Nasty Picks on the counter this week: Ohio -3, Cincinnati +7.5, Pittsburgh +3.5 and South Florida -5.5 -110 at Caesars. The number's wrong and I can show my work. That's what a receipt is.

UCF at Houston, UCF +12.5. Every system has Houston by 6.5; the market has Houston by 12.5. The number at the book misses the Cut. It's a Nasty Pick at +14.

Eastern Michigan at Massachusetts, Massachusetts -5. Every system has Massachusetts by 12.5; the market has Massachusetts by 5. The number at the book misses the Cut. It's a Nasty Pick at -5.

A little nasty, if you want action: 5 sneakies; the strongest is 49ers -2.5 (Broncos at 49ers) at 7.9% after the price. Action, not a receipt. Size it like one. The one moving our way is Louisville at NC State, Over 58.5, down 2 since the open.

If you're playing one, it's the receipt: Ohio at Kent State, Ohio -3. Bet it straight. The Receipts do the talking.

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: Louisville at NC State, Over 58.5. The total has come down 2 points since it opened. A total, so it stays a sneaky.

Sniff of Nasty · Sunday's preview, 6 games from the systems that have rebuilt. Never a pick, never recorded. Strongest: 49ers -2.5, Jets +3, the Under 48.5. Open

Sniff of Nasty

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.

Eagles -3.5 · -107 (50¢) at Kalshi
Covers 50 in 100 by the Nasty Number. Needs 52 to break even. Not enough. Where, best first (Eagles): Kalshi -3.5 at 50¢ (-1.7%) · DraftKings Predictions -3.5 at 50¢ on the app (-108 all-in) (-2.0%) · Fanatics -3.5 at -110 (-2.4%) · Caesars -3.5 at -113 (-3.0%) · DraftKings, FanDuel or TOM -3.5 at -115 (-3.5%). Either of the first two is fine.
Not Nasty

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

Across the books: opened +4.0, now +3.5 (the market moved 0.7 toward Bears).

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

Also out: Hollywood Brown (WR, Eagles), Dallas Goedert (TE, Eagles), Fred Johnson (OT, Eagles) and 5 more.

Pittsburgh +3.5 · -114 at FanDuel
Covers 57 in 100 by the Nasty Number. Needs 53 to break even. Today's number on the posted bet; the receipt above is the call. Where, best first (Pittsburgh): FanDuel or Caesars +3.5 at -114 (3.8%) · DraftKings, Fanatics or BetMGM +3.5 at -115 (3.6%) · TOM +3 at -105 (2.6%) · Kalshi +3.5 at 53¢ (2.3%) · DraftKings Predictions +3.5 at 54¢ on the app (-127 all-in) (1.2%).

The call
Pittsburgh to win · +140 at Fanatics
We make it 45 in 100 to win. The price says 42. That's value. On Kalshi that's 45 cents fair, a play under 41. This is a price bet, not a pick to win: Pittsburgh 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 (Pittsburgh to win): Fanatics or Caesars +140 (3.7%) · DraftKings or BetMGM +136 (3.0%) · DraftKings Predictions or FanDuel +133 (41¢ on the app) (2.4%) · TOM +130 (1.9%).

Weather at kickoff: 3 mph wind, 79°F.

Across the books: opened -6.0, now -3.5. The market has moved 2.3 toward Pittsburgh, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking.

Kalshi thin: Over 54.5, only $12 available; Pittsburgh Panthers ML, only $14 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

TOM: spread -3.0 here against -3.4 consensus.

Weather at kickoff: 10 mph wind, 76°F.

Across the books: opened -8.5, now -7.0. The market has moved 1.3 toward Cincinnati, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking.

Kalshi thin: Arizona Wildcats -7.5, only $43 available; Over 54.5, only $13 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Miami (OH) -13.0 · -110 at Fanatics. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 8 mph wind, 67°F, 44% chance of rain.

Across the books: opened -14.5, now -13.0. The market has moved 1.3 away from Miami (OH), 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 14 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Kalshi thin: Bowling Green Falcons ML, only $285 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

TOM: total 42.5 here against 43.0 consensus.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is the Over 46.0 · -110. The totals model is still proving itself.

Weather at kickoff: 5 mph wind, 83°F, 56% chance of rain. Total pulled down 1 for it.

Across the books: opened +3.5, now +2.5. The market has moved 1.1 away from Army, 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.

Tennessee -7.0 · -110
Covers 53 in 100 by the Nasty Number. Needs 52 to break even. Too thin for the price. Where, best first (Tennessee): FanDuel -6.5 at -124 (0.4%) · BetMGM -7 at -112 (-0.0%) · DraftKings or Fanatics -7 at -115 (-0.7%) · DraftKings Predictions -6.5 at 57¢ on the app (-144 all-in) (-3.3%).

No side

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

Weather at kickoff: 5 mph wind, 83°F, 49% chance of rain.

Across the books: opened -8.0, now -7.0. The market has moved 0.9 away from Tennessee, 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: Tennessee Volunteers -7.5, only $12 available; Under 54.5, only $93 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Across the books: opened -13.0, now -14.5 (the market moved 1.6 toward Nebraska). It crossed 14 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Kalshi thin: Under 52.5, only $12 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Indiana -24.0 · -110 at BetMGM
Covers 52 in 100 by the Nasty Number, but lines this big overshoot and the ratings can't price them. Not a bet. Where, best first (Indiana): BetMGM -24 at -110 (-0.2%) · Caesars -23.5 at -118 (-0.2%) · DraftKings -24.5 at -102 (-0.2%) · FanDuel -24.5 at -104 (-0.7%) · Fanatics -24.5 at -105 (-1.0%).

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

Weather at kickoff: 0 mph wind, 64°F.

Across the books: opened +23.5, now +24.0 (the market moved 0.6 toward Indiana).

Kalshi thin: Under 56.5, only $26 available; Rutgers Scarlet Knights ML, only $176 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

A Little Nasty, 49ers. Market says 49ers by 2.5, the Nasty Number says 49ers by 4.5. At -115 that's too thin to bet. A half point better and it's a play.

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

Also out: Kene Nwangwu (RB, Jets), Adonai Mitchell (WR, Jets), Mason Taylor (TE, Jets) and 5 more.

Chicago Bears has had 14 days off against 7, worth about 0.4 points.

A Little Nasty, Cowboys. Market says Texans by 2.5, the Nasty Number says Texans by 1.5. At -105 that's too thin to bet. A half point better and it's a play.

No side

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Cowboys +2.5 · -105 at BetMGM. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Across the books: opened -3.0, now -2.0. The market has moved 0.5 toward Cowboys, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking.

Kalshi thin: Over 47.5, only $12 available; Under 47.5, only $1 available; Houston Texans -2.5, only $357 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Also out: Nico Collins (WR, Texans), Ed Ingram (G, Texans), Cobie Durant (CB, Cowboys) and 5 more.

Across the books: opened +2.5, now +3.0. The market has moved 0.6 away from Panthers, 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: Under 50.5, only $12 available; Carolina Panthers ML, only $44 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Packers -3.5 · -107 at Caesars
Covers 52 in 100 by the Nasty Number. Needs 52 to break even. Too thin for the price. Where, best first (Packers): Caesars -3.5 at -107 (0.1%) · FanDuel -3.5 at -110 (-0.5%) · DraftKings or Fanatics -3.5 at -115 (-1.7%) · TOM -4 at -110 (-1.9%) · BetMGM -3.5 at -120 (-2.7%).

Packers to win · -185 at FanDuel
We make it 65 in 100 to win. The price says 65. Nothing there. On Kalshi that's 65 cents fair, a play under 61. Where, best first (Packers to win): Caesars -182 (0.6%) · FanDuel or TOM -184 (0.4%) · BetMGM, Fanatics or Kalshi -190 (-0.3%) · DraftKings -198 (-1.3%) · DraftKings Predictions 65¢ on the app (-203 all-in) (-1.9%).

Massey projects 49 and FPI projects 39. The two sources disagree by 9 points, so one of them is wrong here. Where, best first (Over): TOM 39.5 at -105 (2.3%) · DraftKings 39.5 at -112 (0.7%) · FanDuel 39.5 at -114 (0.2%) · Caesars 39.5 at -115 (0.0%) · BetMGM or Fanatics 40 at -110 (-0.3%).

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

Weather at kickoff: 7 mph wind, 86°F.

Moved down since the last run: was Sniff of Nasty · Buccaneers, now Not Nasty.

Kalshi thin: Over 40.5, only $11 available; Under 40.5, only $26 available; Tampa Bay Buccaneers ML, only $138 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: Jayden Reed (WR, Packers), Zach Bako-Bewele (OT, Packers), Aaron Banks (G, Packers) and 5 more.

TOM: spread +4.0 here against +3.6 consensus.

TOM: total 39.5 here against 39.8 consensus.

Green Bay Packers has had 9 days off against 6, worth about 0.2 points.

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

Weather at kickoff: 3 mph wind, 65°F.

Kalshi thin: Los Angeles Chargers +6.5, only $65 available; Over 42.5, only $173 available; Seattle Seahawks ML, only $75 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Also out: Zach Charbonnet (RB, Seahawks), Brenen Thompson (WR, Chargers), Charlie Kolar (TE, Chargers) and 7 more.

A Little Nasty, Under 48.5. Massey and FPI say under by 5.2 points, which is a little nasty, not a bet: the totals model is still proving itself. On the side, market says Saints by 2.5, the Nasty Number says Saints by 3. Nothing there.

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.

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.

Our side taken at the open finished 0.79 points better than the close on average over 42 games.

The head start. 104 Sniffs of Nasty have landed on a rung: the market moved toward the Sunday number 44 times, against it 24, average 0.43 points; the full board kept the side 49 times, flipped 4, went quiet 51.

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).

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.

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: 104 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: 44 of 104 moved our way, average +0.4 points, and the full board kept the side 49 times, flipped it 4, went quiet 51. 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, 181 finished games. The market's total misses the final by 11.7 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.

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

73 priced · 4 Nasty Picks · 21 a little nasty · 4 damn near nasty · audit clean

We read 73 games across 22 books, priced every moneyline, spread and total, and cross-checked them against the Four. 1 was worth a second look. 4 cleared every check.

Since 2:34pm

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
10.31Points off per game at that weight
10.31The market on its own
169Games graded

Fitted straight from the finals, the weight is 2%, give or take 21% (one standard error, 169 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. 853648 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.
