Buck's Take

Worth a look: 4 totals, 2 over and 2 under, 2 of them in blowout games where the total is mostly garbage time. 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: It's September and the ratings are mostly last year's teams. Nothing becomes a Nasty Pick until the record earns it: 150 graded totals and 30 graded sides (so far 0 and 0). Stale numbers are the exception; that rule is proven and switches on inside 48 hours.

Moved since the last run: Down: Oregon at Oklahoma State (Waiting, was Nasty Candidate).

Betting anyway? Buck likes Bowling Green at Nebraska, Under 52 (the models say 44) and Louisiana Tech at LSU, Under 55.5 (the models say 49).

How Sunday 6 September went

Every game we priced, not just the ones we backed. The row worth watching is the one for games we leaned on but didn't bet: if our opinion covers just as often there, the bar isn't sorting anything.

69 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. 2 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

Tomorrow, once SP+, FPI and Sagarin rebuild on this weekend's results. 69 games further out are waiting on those numbers, the first of them thu 10 sep, 7:00 pm. We don't price a game against ratings we know are about to change.

We read 71 games across 12 books, priced every moneyline, spread and total, and cross-checked them against three rating systems. 1 was worth a second look. nothing cleared the bar, which happens.

Since 10:04 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.

  • → 3.1North Dakota State Bison at Air Force Falconstoward Air Force Falconsagainst the public
  • → 3.0Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders at Marshall Thundering Herdtoward Middle Tennessee Blue Raidersagainst the public
  • → 2.8Stony Brook Seawolves at Ball State Cardinalstoward Stony Brook Seawolvesagainst the public

  • → 1.4Duke Blue Devils at Illinois Fighting Illinitoward Duke Blue Devilsagainst the public
  • → 1.0South Alabama Jaguars at Tulane Green Wavetoward South Alabama Jaguarsagainst 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. 2 finished so far, and it takes twenty before any of it means anything.

The line archive

Every book's price, saved on every run. 36685 prices banked. Books that move most are usually the ones reacting to money rather than setting the number.

A number moves 0.34 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.
