Nasty Picks

A pick posted here stays here until kickoff and is graded at the number we posted. Each one says where it stands at today's line.

Buck's Take

Cleared the bar: 1 game made it this week. It's up top.

Worth a look: 1 side (Titans pk). These meet the Nasty Pick rule on paper: every source on the same side, and at least 1.5 pts of value after the market gets its say.

Why they're not picks yet: Jets at Titans: NFL ratings edges cap at Damn Near Nasty. Over eleven seasons they hit 54%; the stale-line rule is the NFL's real edge, so NFL picks come from stale numbers.

Best of the rest:
Jets at Titans. Over 38.5 -110, 4.2% after the price. Totals are leans here, never picks.
San Diego State at UCLA. San Diego State +11.5 -105, 3.1% after the price. Sagarin is the holdout at UCLA by 16.
Browns at Jaguars. Browns +9 -115, 2.8% after the price. Sagarin is the holdout at Jaguars by 9.5.
Arkansas at Utah. Over 54.5 -110, 2.3% after the price. Totals are leans here, never picks.
Wake Forest at Purdue. Purdue +3 -105, 2.2% after the price. FPI is the holdout at Wake Forest by 3.5.

If you're betting them anyway: Buck's sides are Jets at Titans, Titans pk (the ratings make it Titans by 3).

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: 5 mph wind, 83°F.

Across the books: opened -56.5, now -57.0 (the market moved 0.8 toward Miami).

Kalshi thin: Over 63.5, only $249 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Line move: spread has moved 0.8 toward Miami Hurricanes since 09-08 16:04.

The line is -57.0. 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.

We make it 33 in 100 to win. The price says 29. That's value. On Kalshi that's 33 cents fair, a play under 28. This is a price bet, not a pick to win: App 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.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is the Over 55.0 · -115 at TOM. The totals model is still proving itself.

Weather at kickoff: 10 mph wind, 79°F.

Across the books: opened -7.5, now -9.0. The market has moved 1.4 away from Memphis, 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 -8.5 here against -8.9 consensus.

A Little Nasty, not rated

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is the Under 55.5 · -110 at TOM. The totals model is still proving itself.

Weather at kickoff: 10 mph wind, 71°F.

Across the books: opened -2.5, now +0.5. The market has moved 3.0 away from Minnesota, 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: Minnesota Golden Gophers -1.5, only $295 available; Minnesota Golden Gophers ML, only $169 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

TOM: spread pk here against +0.5 consensus.

TOM: total 55.5 here against 55.2 consensus.

Blowout line
Wisconsin to win · —
We make it 100 in 100 to win, the price says 99, but prices this far from even aren't reliable enough to rate.
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, 76°F.

Across the books: opened -37.0, now -38.0 (the market moved 1.2 toward Wisconsin).

Kalshi thin: Over 50.5, only $8 available; Under 50.5, only $88 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.

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

The Receipts

Every call the board made, graded on what it said at kickoff. No edits, no deletions, no "we had that one."

How the last picks finished

Graded off final scores, one unit a play.

9 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), Michigan Wolverines (moneyline), 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).

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 leans, 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.

We read 101 games across 12 books, priced every moneyline, spread and total, and cross-checked them against three rating systems. 20 were worth a second look. 1 cleared every check.

Since 5:54 pm

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

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. 4 finished so far, and it takes twenty before any of it means anything.

The line archive

Every book's price, saved on every run. 123487 prices banked. Books that move most are usually the ones reacting to money rather than setting the number.

A number moves 0.75 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.
