Buck's Take

Three Nasty Picks on the counter for Saturday: Georgia Tech -3, Nevada +5 -105 at TOM and Texas A&M +9.5 -108 at BetMGM. Straight bets. Don't make it a parlay.

A little nasty, if you want action: 5 sneakies; the strongest is Under 61.5 (Oklahoma State at West Virginia) at 3.5% after the price. For the couch, not the mortgage. The one moving our way is Oklahoma State at West Virginia, Under 61.5, up 2 since the open.

Since the last build, Massachusetts at Sacramento State slipped to A Little Nasty.

If you're playing one, it's the receipt: Georgia Tech at Stanford, Georgia Tech -3. Conviction is the whole point of the rung. This is it.

Nasty Dogs

Price bets. Each loses more often than not; the payout is what's mispriced.

Damn Near Nasty

Nothing close. The books have this slate right, and Buck says so.

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: Oklahoma State at West Virginia, Under 61.5. Best number on the board, 1.5 points better than Pinnacle, and the total has come up 2 points since it opened. A total, so it stays a sneaky.

Across the books: opened +5.5, now +3.0. The market has moved 2.5 away from Georgia 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 3 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

TOM: total 49.5 here against 48.7 consensus.

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, 93°F.

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.

TOM: spread -39.0 here against -38.5 consensus.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Patriots +3.0 · -116 at TOM. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 7 mph wind, 82°F.

Kalshi thin: Over 46.5, only $7 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Lions -6.5 · -116 at TOM. A coin flip, the better half of it.

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.

Also out: Isiah Pacheco (RB, Lions), Kene Nwangwu (RB, Jets), Mason Taylor (TE, Jets) and 6 more.

Bills -7.5 · -101 at TOM
Covers 50 in 100 by the Nasty Number. Needs 50 to break even. Too thin for the price. Where, best first (Bills): DraftKings or BetMGM -7 at -112 (0.6%) · TOM -7.5 at -101 (0.2%) · Caesars -7 at -114 (0.2%) · FanDuel -7.5 at -102 (-0.0%) · Fanatics -7 at -115 (-0.1%). Either of the first two is fine.

Bills to win · -340 at DraftKings
We make it 76 in 100 to win. The price says 77. Nothing there. On Kalshi that's 76 cents fair, a play under 72. Where, best first (Bills to win): Caesars -335 (-0.7%) · DraftKings or TOM -340 (-0.9%) · BetMGM or Fanatics -350 (-1.5%) · FanDuel -370 (-2.4%). Either of the first two is fine.

the Under 50.0 · -110 at TOM
Massey projects 49 and FPI projects 49. Within 2 of the market; nothing to bet. Where, best first (Under): FanDuel 50.5 at -115 (-1.3%) · Caesars 50 at -109 (-1.5%) · BetMGM, Fanatics or TOM 50 at -110 (-1.7%) · DraftKings 49.5 at -105 (-2.1%). Either of the first two is fine.
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: 9 mph wind, 66°F.

Kalshi thin: Los Angeles Chargers +7.5, only $49 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Also out: Trey Pipkins III (OT, Chargers), Kayode Awosika (G, Chargers), Jordan Hancock (CB, Bills) and 3 more.

DraftKings still has Bills -7.0 while Pinnacle is at Bills by 7.5. Far enough off to be a pick, but 0.1% edge at the price, under the 3% bar.

Buffalo Bills has had 9 days off against 6, worth about 0.2 points.

Weather at kickoff: 18 mph wind, 63°F, 49% chance of rain. Total pulled down 2.8 for it.

Across the books: opened +2.5, now +7.5. The market has moved 5.2 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: Washington Commanders +7.5, only $433 available; Under 39.5, only $181 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

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), Chig Okonkwo (TE, Commanders), Sam Cosmi (G, Commanders) and 5 more.

TOM: spread +8.0 here against +7.6 consensus.

TOM: total 40.0 here against 40.4 consensus.

Jaguars +3.0 · -110 at DraftKings
Covers 55 in 100 by the Nasty Number. Needs 52 to break even. Too thin for the price. Where, best first (Jaguars): DraftKings +3 at -110 (2.5%) · FanDuel +2.5 at -105 (-1.0%).

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Jaguars +3.0 · -110 at DraftKings. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Kalshi thin: Jacksonville Jaguars ML, only $18 available; Jacksonville Jaguars ML, only $256 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

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.

Closing line value

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.

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.

34 priced · 3 Nasty Picks · 6 a little nasty · ratings rebuild before Thu · audit clean

14 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. 23 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

Monday, once the ratings rebuild on this weekend's results. 14 games further out are 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 48 games across 22 books, priced every moneyline, spread and total, and cross-checked them against the Four. 1 was worth a second look. 3 cleared every check.

What's changed since 5:35pm

  • OffUMass Minutemen at Sacramento State Hornets dropped off. It was Sacramento State Hornets +4.5.

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
10.18Points off per game at that weight
10.18The market on its own
117Games graded

Fitted straight from the finals, the weight is 11%, give or take 24% (one standard error, 117 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.

A number moves 1.28 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.
