Buck's Take

Three Nasty Picks on the counter for Saturday: Texas A&M +9.5 -108 at BetMGM, Colorado State +13 -110 at BetMGM and Nevada +5 -105 at TOM. Straight bets. Don't make it a parlay.

Massachusetts at Sacramento State, Sacramento State +4. Every system has Sacramento State by 1; the market has Massachusetts by 4. The number at the book misses the Cut. It's a Nasty Pick at +4.

Georgia Tech at Stanford, Georgia Tech -3.5. Every system has Georgia Tech by 8; the market has Georgia Tech by 3.5. The number at the book misses the Cut. It's a Nasty Pick at -3.

A little nasty, if you want action: 5 sneakies; the strongest is Over 48 (Louisiana at Charlotte) at 4.3% after the price. For the couch, not the mortgage. The one moving our way is Louisiana at Charlotte, Over 48, down 3.5 since the open.

Since the last build, Georgia Tech at Stanford climbed to Damn Near Nasty; Eagles at Bears slipped to A Little Nasty.

If you're playing one, it's the receipt: Texas A&M at LSU, Texas A&M +9.5 -108 at BetMGM. The number's wrong and the Four agree. That's the receipt.

Nasty Dogs

No dog worth the price this week.

Damn Near Nasty

3 games where the ratings agree and the number doesn't. Each row says what would make it a pick. Dashed line: the Nasty Number. Dot: where the market is now.

Either of the first two is fine.Points or price: +4.5 buys about 1 more win in 100 than +4 (the games that land on 4); -115 costs about 1 more in 100 to break even than -110. A wash; either is fine.

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: Louisiana at Charlotte, Over 48. Best number on the board, half a point better than Pinnacle, and the total has come down 3.5 points since it opened. A total, so it stays a sneaky.

Across the books: opened -6.5, now -5.0 (the market moved 1.6 toward Falcons).

Also out: Jayden Reed (WR, Packers), Zach Bako-Bewele (OT, Packers), Aaron Banks (G, Packers) and 5 more.

Clemson +1.0 · -110 at BetMGM
Covers 54 in 100 by the Nasty Number. Needs 52 to break even. Too thin for the price. Where, best first (Clemson): BetMGM +1 at -110 (1.8%) · Caesars or TOM PK at -110 (0.6%) · Kalshi -1.5 at 48¢ (0.5%) · FanDuel -1.5 at -102 (-0.2%) · DraftKings -1.5 at -105 (-0.9%).

We make it 53 in 100 to win. The price says 52. Not enough. On Kalshi that's 53 cents fair, a play under 48. Where, best first (Clemson to win): BetMGM -108 (1.0%) · FanDuel or Caesars -110 (0.6%) · Kalshi or DraftKings -112 (0.2%). Either of the first two is fine.
Not Nasty

SP+ projects 47 and Massey projects 51. Within 2 of the market; nothing to bet. Where, best first (Under): FanDuel, DraftKings or BetMGM 50.5 at -110 (-0.7%) · Kalshi 50.5 at 51¢ (-1.1%) · TOM 50.5 at -115 (-1.8%) · Caesars 50 at -110 (-2.0%). Either of the first two is fine.
No side

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Clemson +1.0 · -110 at BetMGM. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 6 mph wind, 64°F.

Across the books: opened +1.5, now -0.5. The market has moved 1.8 away from Clemson, so the number is better than it was, but a move against the ratings usually means news. Check the injury note before taking it.

TOM: spread PK here against -0.5 consensus.

DraftKings still has California +1.5 while Pinnacle is at California by 1. Far enough off to be a pick, but 0.2% edge at the price, under the 3% bar.

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: 15 mph wind, 64°F, 31% chance of rain. Total pulled down 1.8 for it.

Across the books: opened -42.5, now -43.0 (the market moved 0.6 toward Rutgers).

Kalshi thin: Over 56.5, only $205 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.

TOM: spread -43.5 here against -43.1 consensus.

Sacramento State +4.0 · -110 at BetMGM
Covers 59 in 100 by the Nasty Number. Needs 52 to break even. Worth a look. Where, best first (Sacramento State): BetMGM +4 at -110 (6.2%) · FanDuel +4.5 at -115 (6.1%) · DraftKings +4 at -112 (5.7%) · TOM +4 at -115 (5.1%). Either of the first two is fine.
A Little Nasty
Sacramento State to win · +158 at FanDuel
We make it 45 in 100 to win. The price says 39. That's value. On Kalshi that's 45 cents fair, a play under 41. This is a price bet, not a pick to win: Sacramento 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. Where, best first (Sacramento State to win): FanDuel +158 (6.5%) · BetMGM or DraftKings +155 (6.1%) · TOM +140 (3.6%). Either of the first two is fine.

Tulsa +7.0 · -105 at BetMGM
Covers 54 in 100 by the Nasty Number. Needs 51 to break even. Too thin for the price. Where, best first (Tulsa): BetMGM +7 at -105 (2.9%) · FanDuel +7.5 at -122 (2.0%) · DraftKings or TOM +7 at -110 (1.7%) · Kalshi +7.5 at 55¢ (0.3%).

We make it 33 in 100 to win. The price says 30. Not enough. On Kalshi that's 33 cents fair, a play under 28. Where, best first (Tulsa to win): FanDuel +230 (2.3%) · BetMGM +225 (1.8%) · DraftKings +220 (1.3%) · Kalshi 30¢ (1.1%) · TOM +210 (0.3%). Either of the first two is fine.

A Little Nasty, not rated

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is the Over 50.5 · -105 at TOM. The totals model is still proving itself.

Weather at kickoff: 5 mph wind, 81°F, 32% chance of rain.

Moved down since the last run: was A Little Nasty · Tulsa, now A Little Nasty · Over.

Across the books: opened -9.5, now -7.0. The market has moved 2.5 toward Tulsa, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking.

TOM: total 50.5 here against 50.8 consensus.

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

Weather at kickoff: 9 mph wind, 82°F.

Across the books: opened -1.5, now -3.0 (the market moved 1.6 toward Florida). It crossed 3 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

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: 5 mph wind, 73°F.

Across the books: opened -26.0, now -23.5 (the market moved 2.7 toward Gardner-Webb).

Kalshi thin: Over 51.5, only $52 available; Under 51.5, only $52 available; Marshall Thundering Herd ML, only $11 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

The ratings sit 10 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.

The line is -23.5. Rating differences overshoot on games this lopsided, so whatever gap shows up is arithmetic rather than insight.

Only one model disagrees with the market on the side. A lone dissenter is usually the one at fault.

The ratings sit 14 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.

The ratings sit 8 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.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Steelers +3.5 · -105 at DraftKings. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 8 mph wind, 64°F.

Across the books: opened +2.5, now +3.5. The market has moved 1.0 away from Steelers, 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: Cincinnati Bengals -3.5, only $97 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Also out: Andrei Iosivas (WR, Bengals), Brian Parker II (OT, Bengals), Ja'Sir Taylor (CB, Bengals).

We make it 44 in 100 to win. The price says 43. Not enough. On Kalshi that's 44 cents fair, a play under 39. Where, best first (Patriots to win): Kalshi 41¢ (1.5%) · FanDuel +132 (1.0%) · DraftKings, Caesars, BetMGM or Fanatics +130 (0.7%) · TOM +128 (0.3%). Either of the first two is fine.

No side

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Patriots +2.5 · +109 (46¢) at Kalshi. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 8 mph wind, 81°F.

Moved up since the last run: was Not Nasty, now A Little Nasty · Patriots.

Across the books: opened -2.5, now -3.0. The market has moved 0.6 away from Patriots, 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: Under 45.5, only $421 available; New England Patriots ML, only $23 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Also out: Mike Onwenu (G, Patriots), Dell Pettus (S, Patriots).

TOM: total 45.0 here against 45.3 consensus.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Seahawks -7.5 · +109 (46¢) at Kalshi. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Across the books: opened +2.5, now +7.5. The market has moved 5.0 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: Over 39.5, only $77 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

QB questionable: Sam Darnold (Seahawks), Questionable. Check before kickoff.

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

Also out: Zach Charbonnet (RB, Seahawks), Anthony Bradford (G, Seahawks), Nick Cross (S, Commanders).

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 -7.5, now -7.0. The market has moved 0.6 away from Lions, 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 7 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Kalshi thin: Over 47.5, only $89 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Also out: Arian Smith (WR, Jets), Mason Taylor (TE, Jets), Avonte Maddox (CB, Lions) and 2 more.

TOM: spread -6.5 here against -6.8 consensus.

TOM: total 47.5 here against 47.8 consensus.

Detroit Lions has had 9 days off against 7, worth about 0.1 points.

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: 14 mph wind, 65°F, 47% chance of rain. Total pulled down 1.4 for it.

Across the books: opened -5.5, now -2.5 (the market moved 3.0 toward Titans). It crossed 3 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Kalshi thin: Tennessee Titans +2.5, only $20 available; Under 40.5, only $15 available; New York Giants -2.5, only $25 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

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

Also out: Milo Eifler (LB, Titans).

TOM: spread -3.0 here against -2.6 consensus.

Tennessee Titans has had 7 days off against 5, worth about 0.1 points.

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.

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.

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.

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.

87 priced · 3 Nasty Picks · 16 a little nasty · 3 damn near nasty · ratings rebuild before Thu · audit clean

1 game further out is not being priced yet: the ratings rebuild after this weekend, and betting a number we know is about to change isn't worth doing.
Next picks

Monday, once the ratings rebuild on this weekend's results. 1 game further out is 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 88 games across 22 books, priced every moneyline, spread and total, and cross-checked them against the Four. 7 were worth a second look. 3 cleared every check.

What's changed since 6:07pm

  • OffColorado State Rams at UTSA Roadrunners dropped off. It was Colorado State Rams +13.5.
  • OffTexas A&M Aggies at LSU Tigers dropped off. It was Texas A&M Aggies +8.5.

  • OffCincinnati Bengals at Pittsburgh Steelers dropped off. It was Pittsburgh Steelers +3.5.
  • OffPhiladelphia Eagles at Chicago Bears dropped off. It was Chicago Bears +5.0.

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
9.76Points off per game at that weight
9.76The market on its own
86Games graded

Fitted straight from the finals, the weight is 25%, give or take 25% (one standard error, 86 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. 835170 prices banked. Books that move most are usually the ones reacting to money rather than setting the number.

A number moves 1.19 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.

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.
