Nasty Picks

A ticket written here stays on the board until kickoff and is cashed at the number we posted. Each one says what to do at today's line.

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.

Buck's Take

1 Nasty Pick on the counter Monday. On the counter. Don't make it a parlay.

Marshall at Missouri State, Missouri State +3.5. Every system has Missouri State by 0.5; the market has Marshall by 3.5. The number at the book misses the Cut. It's a Nasty Pick at +4.

A little nasty, if you want action: 5 sneakies, Eagles at Titans Titans +7 the strongest at 5.7% after the price. For the couch, not the mortgage.

If you're playing one, it's Marshall at Missouri State, Missouri State +3.5. The ratings make it Missouri State by 0.5. Bet it like you'd lose it, because you might.

We make it 30 in 100 to win. The price says 26. That's value. On Kalshi that's 30 cents fair, a play under 25. This is a price bet, not a pick to win: West Virginia 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.

Took this bet?

Across the books: opened +8.5, now +10.0. The market has moved 1.5 away from West Virginia, 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 10 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Kalshi thin: West Virginia Mountaineers +8.5, only $46 available; Under 53.5, only $236 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

A Little Nasty, Jets. Market says Packers by 3.5, the Nasty Number says Packers by 2.5. At -110 that's too thin to bet. A half point better and it's a play.

We make it 43 in 100 to win. The price says 38. That's value. On Kalshi that's 43 cents fair, a play under 38. This is a price bet, not a pick to win: Jets 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.

Backup QB out: Dillon Gabriel (Browns), Injured Reserve. Not the starter, so no hold.

Also out: Josh Hayes (CB, Buccaneers), Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (LB, Browns).

TOM: moneyline -402 here against -346 consensus.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Steelers +5.5 · -113 at TOM. A coin flip, the better half of it.

Weather at kickoff: 9 mph wind, 68°F, 42% chance of rain.

Across the books: opened -4.5, now -5.5. The market has moved 0.9 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.

Also out: A.J. Brown (WR, Patriots), Jack Driscoll (OT, Steelers), Donte Kent (CB, Steelers) and 4 more.

TOM: total 41.5 here against 41.9 consensus.

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.

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.

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 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.

The head start: 27 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: 7 of 27 moved our way, average -0.1 points, and the full board kept the side 22 times, flipped it 1, went quiet 4.

Every game on the slate. A game the board had a call on carries the rung, the bet as called, and how it's doing once the game starts.

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.

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

91 priced · 1 Nasty Pick · 35 a little nasty · 1 damn near nasty · audit clean

We read 91 games across 12 books, priced every moneyline, spread and total, and cross-checked them against the Four. 13 were worth a second look. 1 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
11.03Points off per game at that weight
11.03The market on its own
105Games graded

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.

Who predicts best

Average points missed against the real margin. Lower is better.

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. 478003 prices banked. Books that move most are usually the ones reacting to money rather than setting the number.

A number moves 1.15 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.
