Buck's Take

Two Nasty Picks and One Nasty Dog on the counter this week: UNLV +3, UCF +8.5 and Iowa to win. Read the receipt before you bet it.

South Carolina at Florida, South Carolina +13. Every system has Florida by 8; the market has Florida by 13. The number at the book misses the Cut. It's a Nasty Pick at +14.

Wake Forest at NC State, NC State +4. Every system has NC State by 1.5; the market has Wake Forest by 4. The number at the book misses the Cut. It's a Nasty Pick at +4.

A little nasty, if you want action: 5 sneakies; the strongest is Over 50 (South Florida at UTSA) at 3.8% after the price. Small money, our side, no receipt. The one moving our way is South Florida at UTSA, Over 50, down 2 since the open.

Since the last build, Giants at Commanders climbed to Damn Near Nasty; Iowa at Washington climbed to Damn Near Nasty; Wake Forest at NC State climbed to Damn Near Nasty.

If you're playing one, it's the receipt: North Dakota State at UNLV, UNLV +3. Bet it straight. The Receipts do the talking.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Kennesaw State +2.5 · +105 (47¢) at Kalshi. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 0 mph wind, 76°F.

Kalshi thin: Under 49.5, only $104 available; Kennesaw State Owls ML, only $40 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

No side

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Western Kentucky -2.5 · -110 at Fanatics. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 5 mph wind, 78°F.

Across the books: opened PK, now -2.5. The market has moved 2.8 toward Western Kentucky, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking.

Kalshi thin: Over 56.5, only $315 available; Western Kentucky Hilltoppers -2.5, only $2 available; Western Kentucky Hilltoppers ML, only $82 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

We make it 47 in 100 to win. The price says 42. That's value. On Kalshi that's 47 cents fair, a play under 43. This is a price bet, not a pick to win: Iowa loses this more often than not.

Took this bet?

Weather at kickoff: 3 mph wind, 61°F, 40% chance of rain.

Moved up since the last run: was Sniff of Nasty · Iowa, now Damn Near Nasty.

Across the books: opened -1.0, now -3.0. The market has moved 1.9 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. It crossed 3 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Across the books: opened -14.0, now -10.5 (the market moved 3.3 toward Iowa State).

Kalshi thin: Iowa State Cyclones +10.5, only $439 available; Over 45.5, only $110 available; Under 45.5, only $119 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Moved up since the last run: was Sniff of Nasty · NC State, now Damn Near Nasty.

Across the books: opened +2.0, now +3.5. The market has moved 1.5 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: Over 59.5, only $100 available; NC State Wolfpack +3.5, only $357 available; Over 59.5, only $7 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

TOM: spread +4.0 here against +3.6 consensus.

FPI is the holdout at Wake Forest by 5.5. Every system that prices a game has to be on our side for a Nasty Pick.

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, 69°F, 63% chance of rain. Total pulled down 2.8 for it.

Moved down since the last run: was Sniff of Nasty · Under, weather, now A Little Nasty · Under, weather.

Across the books: opened +9.5, now +8.0. The market has moved 1.6 away from James Madison, 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: Georgia Southern Eagles +7.5, only $92 available; Over 53.5, only $100 available; Under 53.5, only $1 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

TOM: spread +7.5 here against +7.9 consensus.

No side

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Tulane +3.5 · -112 at BetMGM. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 5 mph wind, 66°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 $12 available; Under 48.5, only $143 available; Tulane Green Wave ML, only $1 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

SP+ hasn't rebuilt since UAB and Memphis played, so it sat out past Tuesday 9am and the Sauce here is FPI, Sagarin and Massey.

Buck

Not Nasty. Market says Air Force by 7, the Nasty Number says Air Force by 7.5, but the market has moved 5.4 points away from Air Force since it opened. A move that size against the ratings usually means news the Four don't have. This isn't a bet.

Across the books: opened +13.0, now +7.5. The market has moved 5.4 away from Air Force, 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 10 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Kalshi thin: Air Force Falcons -7.5, only $98 available; Over 46.5, only $18 available; Over 47.5, only $399 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Line move: spread has moved 1.1 toward Maryland Terrapins since 10-04 06:30; total has moved up 0.6.

TOM: spread -33.0 here against -34.4 consensus; total 56.5 here against 56.1 consensus.

The line is -33.0. Rating differences overshoot on games this lopsided, so whatever gap shows up is arithmetic rather than insight.

SP+ hasn't rebuilt since Maryland and Ohio State played, so it sat out past Tuesday 9am and the Sauce here is FPI, Sagarin and Massey.

Damn Near Nasty. Giants +4.5: all 4 ratings our side, 6.9% after the price; the NFL cap keeps it a watch. That's the Nasty Pick rule with one thing short, the NFL cap: in the NFL the picks come from stale numbers and prices, not power ratings, until the record earns them. Good bet. Not a Nasty Pick.

We make it 45 in 100 to win. The price says 38. That's value. On Kalshi that's 45 cents fair, a play under 40. This is a price bet, not a pick to win: Giants 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.

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: Under 43.5, only $137 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Backup QB out: Jaxson Dart (Giants), Injured Reserve. Not the starter, so no hold.

QB out: Jayden Daniels (Commanders), Out. Priced at 2.5 points off FPI, Sagarin, Massey; nfelo rebuilt after the news and had it already, so the number here already carries the backup.

Also out: Rachaad White (RB, Commanders), Jaylin Lane (WR, Commanders), Terry McLaurin (WR, Commanders) and 3 more.

Buck

Damn Near Nasty. Chargers +3.5: all 4 ratings our side, 3.6% after the price; the NFL cap keeps it a watch. That's the Nasty Pick rule with one thing short, the NFL cap: in the NFL the picks come from stale numbers and prices, not power ratings, until the record earns them. Good bet. Not a Nasty Pick.

Ravens +3.0 · -110 at Fanatics
Covers 59 in 100 by the Nasty Number. Needs 52 to break even. Worth a look. Where, best first (Ravens): Fanatics +3 at -110 (6.6%) · DraftKings or BetMGM +3 at -112 (6.1%) · Kalshi +3.5 at 55¢ (5.6%) · Caesars +3 at -115 (5.4%) · FanDuel +2.5 at -102 (3.6%). Either of the first two is fine.
A Little Nasty
Ravens to win · +133
We make it 49 in 100 to win. The price says 43. That's value. On Kalshi that's 49 cents fair, a play under 44. This is a price bet, not a pick to win: Ravens 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 (Ravens to win): DraftKings, BetMGM or Fanatics +136 (6.7%) · Kalshi 41¢ (6.4%) · Caesars +131 (5.8%) · FanDuel +126 (4.9%) · DraftKings Predictions 45¢ on the app (+113 all-in) (2.1%).

No side

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

Across the books: opened +6.5, now -2.5. The market has moved 9.0 away from Ravens, 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: Baltimore Ravens +3.5, only $371 available; Over 43.5, only $52 available; Under 43.5, only $268 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

QB questionable: Lamar Jackson (Ravens), Questionable. Check before kickoff.

Backup QB out: Cooper Rush (Falcons), Out. Not the starter, so no hold.

Also out: Chris Moore (WR, Ravens), Ethan Onianwa (OT, Falcons), Jared Ivey (LB, Falcons) and 1 more.

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.

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.

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: 138 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: 60 of 138 moved our way, average +0.4 points, and the full board kept the side 51 times, flipped it 4, went quiet 83. 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.

73 priced · 2 Nasty Picks · 1 Nasty Dog · 10 a little nasty · 7 damn near nasty · audit clean

Not every source loaded: SP+ hasn't changed in 9 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 73 games across 22 books, priced every moneyline, spread and total, and cross-checked them against the Four. 0 were worth a second look. 2 cleared every check.

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
10.75Points off per game at that weight
10.75The market on its own
244Games graded

Fitted straight from the finals, the weight is 3%, give or take 19% (one standard error, 244 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.

The line archive

A number moves 1.28 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.

A rating that hasn't moved in over a week during the season is probably stale at the source. Treat anything leaning on it carefully.
