Nasty Picks

A pick posted here stays here until kickoff and is graded at the number we posted. Each one says what to do at today's line.

Sniff of Nasty

NFL: FPI and Massey and nfelo have seen the last games, Sagarin hasn't. These leans come from the systems that have rebuilt. Nothing here is a pick yet; the full board lands when every system has updated, usually Tuesday morning for college. If you like a number now, this is your head start.

Nasty Dogs

No dog worth the price this week.

Damn Near Nasty

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

A Little Nasty

Buck

Buck's Take

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

Worth a look: 1 side (App State +7.0). 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: App State at East Carolina: the systems agree, the number at the book doesn't clear 3% after the price. Each card says the line that would.

Moved since the last run: Up: Buffalo at Florida International (A Little Nasty · Buffalo, was Not Nasty); App State at East Carolina (Damn Near Nasty, was A Little Nasty · App State); Oklahoma at Michigan (A Little Nasty · Michigan, was Not Nasty). Down: Iowa State at Iowa (Not Nasty, was A Little Nasty · Over); Mississippi State at Minnesota (Not Nasty, was A Little Nasty · Under); UTSA at Texas State (Not Nasty, was A Little Nasty · UTSA); Jacksonville State at Ohio (Not Nasty, was A Little Nasty · Under).

Best of the rest:
Jets at Titans. Over 38.5 -110, 3.4% after the price. Totals are leans here, never picks.
Broncos at Chiefs. Under 43.5 -105, 3.3% after the price. Totals are leans here, never picks.
Arkansas at Utah. Over 55 -110, 2.8% after the price. Totals are leans here, never picks.
Packers at Vikings. Under 46 -105, 2.5% after the price. Totals are leans here, never picks.
Cardinals at Chargers. Under 47 -105, 2.4% after the price. Totals are leans here, never picks.

If you're betting them anyway: Buck's sides are App State at East Carolina, App State +7.0 (the ratings make it East Carolina by 3.5).

QB out, already in the ratings: Matthew Caldwell (Rams), Injured Reserve. nfelo rebuilt after that news, so it's priced in, not an edge.

Also out: Keagen Trost (OT, Rams), Justin Dedich (G, Rams), Nate Hobbs (CB, 49ers) and 5 more.

Across the books: opened -56.5, now -59.5 (the market moved 3.2 toward Miami).

Kalshi thin: Under 66.5, only $8 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is the Over 47.5 · -110. The totals model is still proving itself.

Weather at kickoff: 6 mph wind, 86°F.

Across the books: opened -7.0, now -7.5. The market has moved 0.5 away from Arizona, 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.

Kalshi thin: Arizona Wildcats ML, only $112 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

BetRivers still has Arizona +8.5 while Pinnacle is at BYU by 7.5.

No lean

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Falcons to win · +180 at TOM. A price bet, Falcons loses more often than not.

Weather at kickoff: 7 mph wind, 79°F.

Across the books: opened -3.0, now -4.0. The market has moved 0.8 away from Falcons, 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: Over 41.5, only $38 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

QB questionable: Tua Tagovailoa (Falcons), Questionable. Check before kickoff.

Also out: Jack Driscoll (OT, Steelers), Donte Kent (CB, Steelers), DeShon Elliott (S, Steelers) and 1 more.

TOM: spread -4.5 here against -4.0 consensus.

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).

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.

2 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.
Next picks

Monday, once the ratings rebuild on this weekend's results. 2 games further out are waiting on those numbers, the first of them thu 17 sep, 6:30 pm. We don't price a game against ratings we know are about to change.

We read 103 games across 12 books, priced every moneyline, spread and total, and cross-checked them against three rating systems. 22 were worth a second look. 1 cleared every check.

What's changed since 4:54 pm

  • MovedBuffalo Bulls at Florida International Panthers is now Buffalo Bulls +10.0, was Buffalo Bulls +10.5.

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

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

The line archive

Every book's price, saved on every run. 148784 prices banked. Books that move most are usually the ones reacting to money rather than setting the number.

A number moves 0.91 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.
