Buck's Take

Five Nasty Picks on the counter this week: Ohio -3, Pittsburgh +3.5, Cincinnati +7, South Florida -5.5 -110 at Caesars and San Diego State +4.5 -106 at FanDuel. Read the receipt before you bet it.

UCF at Houston, UCF +12.5. Every system has Houston by 6.5; the market has Houston by 12.5. The number at the book misses the Cut. It's a Nasty Pick at +14.

Baylor at Arizona State, Baylor +4.5. Every system has Baylor by 2.5; the market has Arizona State by 3.5. The number at the book misses the Cut. It's a Nasty Pick at +4.5.

A little nasty, if you want action: 5 sneakies; the strongest is Massachusetts -6.5 (Eastern Michigan at Massachusetts) at 5.6% after the price. Small money, our side, no receipt. The one moving our way is Louisville at NC State, Over 58.5, down 2 since the open.

Since the last build, Pittsburgh at Virginia Tech slipped to A Little Nasty; Cardinals at Giants climbed to Damn Near Nasty; Texas State at San Diego State slipped to A Little Nasty.

If you're playing one, it's the receipt: Ohio at Kent State, Ohio -3. Conviction is the whole point of the rung. This is it.

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: Western Kentucky at New Mexico State, Western Kentucky +2.5. The line has moved 1.5 points our way since it opened. Still a sneaky. Misses the Cut: needs 3% after the price.

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

Weather at kickoff: 10 mph wind, 58°F.

Across the books: opened +7.0, now +3.0 (the market moved 3.9 toward Northwestern). It crossed 3 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Kalshi thin: Under 46.5, only $391 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Nasty Pick. Posted Monday at San Diego State +4.5 -106 at FanDuel. Don't bet this at today's number. We posted San Diego State +4.5 -106 at FanDuel on Monday; now San Diego State +4 · -110 at Fanatics. The number is half a point worse and the price is 4 cents worse, from -106 to -110, and that's a different bet from the one we posted, pushes counted. If you already have it at +4.5, you're set. It's a play again at +4.5 -106 or better. Market says Texas State by 4, the Nasty Number says Texas State by 3.

Damn Near Nasty. Baylor +4.5: Sagarin is the holdout at Arizona State by 5; the other 3 of 4 our side, 7.6% after the price. That's the Nasty Pick rule with one thing short, the holdout: every system that prices a game has to be on our side. Good bet. Not a Nasty Pick. Size it that way.

Where, best first (Massachusetts to win): Fanatics, BetMGM or TOM -235 (3.7%) · DraftKings, Kalshi or FanDuel -238 (3.5%) · DraftKings Predictions 69¢ on the app (-245 all-in) (2.8%). Either of the first two is fine.

No side

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Massachusetts -6.5 · -105 at DraftKings. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 5 mph wind, 69°F.

Across the books: opened -4.5, now -6.5. The market has moved 1.8 toward Massachusetts, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking.

Kalshi thin: Eastern Michigan Eagles +6.5, only $67 available; Over 49.5, only $36 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

A Little Nasty, Under 51.5. 16 mph wind, worth about 2.1 off the total. The market's total is 51.5; if it hasn't come down for the weather by the time you look, the under is the bet. On the side, market says Hawai'i by 3, the Nasty Number says Hawai'i by 3.5. Nothing there.

A Little Nasty, not rated

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is the Under 51.5 · -110 at TOM. Weather under, only before the market takes the total down.

Weather at kickoff: 16 mph wind, 83°F. Total pulled down 2.1 for it.

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

Across the books: opened -3.5, now -3.0. The market has moved 0.5 away from Hawai'i, 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: San Jose State Spartans +2.5, only $452 available; Over 49.5, only $64 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Weather at kickoff: 6 mph wind, 76°F.

Across the books: opened +16.0, now +12.5. The market has moved 3.3 away from Texas Tech, 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 14 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Kalshi thin: Under 50.5, only $12 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Kalshi thin: Over 43.5, only $40 available; Under 43.5, only $476 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

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: 5 mph wind, 93°F.

Across the books: opened -10.0, now -9.0 (the market moved 0.8 toward Washington). It crossed 10 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Kalshi thin: USC Trojans -9.5, only $198 available; Under 57.5, only $12 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

No side

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

Across the books: opened +4.5, now +3.5. The market has moved 0.9 toward Commanders, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking.

Kalshi thin: Over 47.5, only $76 available; Under 47.5, only $111 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

QB questionable: Jayden Daniels (Commanders), Questionable. Check before kickoff.

Also out: Alec Pierce (WR, Colts), Carson Towt (TE, Colts), Sam Cosmi (G, Commanders) and 2 more.

Neutral site, so no home field in the number.

Not Nasty
Giants to win · +110 at DraftKings
We make it 50 in 100 to win. The price says 48. Not enough. On Kalshi that's 50 cents fair, a play under 45. Where, best first (Giants to win): DraftKings +110 (2.3%) · Kalshi 46¢ (2.1%) · Caesars +107 (1.6%) · FanDuel +106 (1.3%) · BetMGM, Fanatics, TOM or DraftKings Predictions +105 (47¢ on the app) (1.1%). Either of the first two is fine.

Either of the first two is fine.
No side

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Giants +1.5 · +100 at TOM. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 8 mph wind, 65°F.

Moved up since the last run: was Not Nasty, now Damn Near Nasty.

Across the books: opened -2.5, now +1.5. The market has moved 3.7 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.

Kalshi thin: Arizona Cardinals -1.5, only $342 available; Over 44.5, only $10 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

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

Also out: Paulson Adebo (CB, Giants), Will Johnson (CB, Cardinals), Kitan Crawford (S, Cardinals) and 3 more.

We make it 38 in 100 to win. The price says 37. Not enough. On Kalshi that's 38 cents fair, a play under 34.

No side

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Panthers +3.5 · -105 at FanDuel. A coin flip, the better half of it.

Weather at kickoff: 3 mph wind, 66°F, 49% chance of rain.

Across the books: opened +2.5, now +3.5. The market has moved 0.9 away from Panthers, 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 50.5, only $16 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Also out: Isiah Pacheco (RB, Lions), Damien Lewis (G, Panthers), Cade Mays (C, Lions) and 3 more.

TOM: total 50.0 here against 50.4 consensus.

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.

What the results are teaching us

Every game we price is graded once it finishes, whether or not we backed it. This is that study, per sport, with the sample size beside each number. Totals by source and the record by call sit under the hood below. Not a record; nothing here is a pick. Updated 2026-09-30 09:06.

The line archive, 48 games. Between the first build that priced a game and the last before kickoff, the market moved toward our number 29 times, against it 14, and sat still 5. Our side taken at the open finished 0.79 points better than the close on average over 43 games. The close misses the final by 10.46, the open by 10.60, our raw ratings number by 10.93, Pinnacle's close by 10.45. Sharpest closing books: Courtside 8.00, Polymarket 9.54, Hard Rock Bet (FL) 10.13.

The head start. 112 Sniffs of Nasty have landed on a rung: the market moved toward the Sunday number 45 times, against it 26, average 0.40 points; the full board kept the side 51 times, flipped 4, went quiet 57.

What a bigger change would have done. Each recorded game day replayed with a candidate setting and scored against the finals (2026-09-21, 2026-09-22, 2026-09-23, 2026-09-25, 2026-09-26, 2026-09-27, 2026-09-28, 2026-09-28).

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.

Under the hood

It's 18 graded bets. That tells you nothing yet, in either direction. Ask again after fifty.

Closing line value
+0.37Sides: pts vs close, 23 bets, beat it 65%

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: 112 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: 45 of 112 moved our way, average +0.4 points, and the full board kept the side 51 times, flipped it 4, went quiet 57. 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.

75 priced · 5 Nasty Picks · 15 a little nasty · 4 damn near nasty · audit clean

We read 75 games across 22 books, priced every moneyline, spread and total, and cross-checked them against the Four. 2 were worth a second look. 5 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
10.39Points off per game at that weight
10.39The market on its own
170Games graded

Fitted straight from the finals, the weight is 2%, give or take 21% (one standard error, 170 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

Every book's price, saved on every run. 857958 prices banked. Books that move most are usually the ones reacting to money rather than setting the number.

A number moves 1.16 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.
