Buck's Take

7 Nasty Picks and One Nasty Dog on the counter this week: James Madison -16.5, San Diego State +4.5 -106 at FanDuel, Miami (OH) -10 -110 at TOM, Louisiana -6 -104 at TOM, Cincinnati +7 -102 at DraftKings, Ohio -3 -110 at TOM, South Florida -5.5 -110 at Caesars and Commanders to win +184 at FanDuel. Read the receipt before you bet it.

Eastern Michigan at Massachusetts, Massachusetts -5. Every system has Massachusetts by 12.5; the market has Massachusetts by 5. The number at the book misses the Cut. It's a Nasty Pick at -5.

UL Monroe at South Alabama, South Alabama -13. Every system has South Alabama by 17.5; the market has South Alabama by 13. The number at the book misses the Cut. It's a Nasty Pick at -12.

A little nasty, if you want action: 5 sneakies; the strongest is Over 47 (Army at Louisiana Tech) at 3.1% after the price. Small money, our side, no receipt. The one moving our way is Louisville at NC State, Over 56.5, down 4 since the open.

Since the last build, Army at Louisiana Tech slipped to A Little Nasty.

If you're playing one, it's the receipt: Marshall at James Madison, James Madison -16.5. That's the one. One unit, on the Receipts.

Nasty Dogs

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

Colts at CommandersMoved our way · 1 ptCommanders to win +184 at FanDuelNasty Dog · called Fri 9:06amDon't chaseSun 8:30am Buck's case ›Don't bet this at today's number. We posted Commanders to win +184 at FanDuel on Friday; now Commanders to win · +188 at FanDuel. The number hasn't moved but the price is 4 cents better, from +184 to +188, and at +188 the edge is 0.5%, under the 2.5% a posted pick has to keep. If you already have it, you're set. It's a play again at +184 or better.

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: Louisville at NC State, Over 56.5. The total has come down 4 points since it opened. A total, so it stays a sneaky.

Nasty Pick. Posted Monday at San Diego State +4.5 -106 at FanDuel. Bet it. San Diego State +10 · -112 at TOM, 5.5 points better, 6 cents worse than the +4.5 -106 we posted on Monday. Worth a little more than the number we posted, pushes counted. Market says Texas State by 10, the Nasty Number says Texas State by 7.

All 4 systems lean San Diego State. The Nasty Number is 2.8 points off the book; it takes 3% edge after the price for a pick with the full blend, more with fewer systems, and this one is under it. The raw ratings sit 9 points off the market, which usually means a stale rating, so the number is discounted and this isn't a bet.

San Diego State +10.0 · -112 at TOM
Covers 57 in 100 by the Nasty Number. Needs 53 to break even. The number says yes, but the ratings are too far from the market to trust it. Where, best first (San Diego State): FanDuel +10.5 at -115 (5.2%) · BetMGM +10 at -110 (4.8%) · TOM +10 at -112 (4.3%) · DraftKings Predictions or Fanatics +9.5 at -104 (49¢ on the app) (4.0%) · Caesars +9.5 at -106 (3.6%). Either of the first two is fine.
Discounted
San Diego State to win · +296 (24¢) at Kalshi
We make it 28 in 100 to win. The price says 25. That's value. On Kalshi that's 28 cents fair, a play under 24. This is a price bet, not a pick to win: San Diego State 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. Where, best first (San Diego State to win): Kalshi, DraftKings or Caesars +296 (3.0%) · Fanatics or BetMGM +290 (2.6%) · FanDuel or DraftKings Predictions +285 (24¢ on the app) (2.3%) · TOM +275 (1.6%). Either of the first two is fine.

Across the books: opened +7.0, now +9.5. The market has moved 2.6 away from San Diego State, so the number is better than it was, but a move against the ratings usually means news. Check the injury note before taking it.

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 +10.0 here against +9.7 consensus.

TOM: total 58.0 here against 57.5 consensus.

TOM: moneyline +287 here against +342 consensus.

FanDuel still has San Diego State +10.5 while Pinnacle is at Texas State by 9.5.

Damn Near Nasty. Massachusetts -5.0: Massey is the holdout at Eastern Michigan by 1.5; the other 3 of 4 our side, 7.5% 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.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Massachusetts -5.0 · -112 at TOM. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 6 mph wind, 67°F.

Across the books: opened -6.5, now -6.0. The market has moved 0.6 away from Massachusetts, so the number is better than it was, but a move against the ratings usually means news. Check the injury note before taking it.

Damn Near Nasty. Baylor +3.5: Sagarin is the holdout at Arizona State by 5; the other 3 of 4 our side, 6.1% 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.

We make it 46 in 100 to win. The price says 41. That's value. On Kalshi that's 46 cents fair, a play under 41. This is a price bet, not a pick to win: Baylor 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.

A Little Nasty, not rated

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is the Over 56.5 · -110. The totals model is still proving itself.

Weather at kickoff: 8 mph wind, 78°F, 41% chance of rain.

Across the books: opened +4.0, now +3.0. The market has moved 0.7 away from Louisville, 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: Under 57.5, only $493 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Line move: spread has moved 1.7 toward Wyoming Cowboys since 09-29 09:45; total has moved down 1.8.

The line is -17.0. Rating differences overshoot on games this lopsided, so whatever gap shows up is arithmetic rather than insight.

Only one model disagrees with the market on the side. A lone dissenter is usually the one at fault.

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

Weather at kickoff: 12 mph wind, 86°F, 22% chance of rain. Total pulled down 0.7 for it.

Across the books: opened -44.5, now -47.0 (the market moved 2.5 toward Florida Atlantic).

The ratings sit 13 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 -45.5 here against -47.0 consensus.

The line is +24.0. Rating differences overshoot on games this lopsided, so whatever gap shows up is arithmetic rather than insight.

Nasty Dog. Posted Friday at Commanders to win +184 at FanDuel. Don't bet this at today's number. We posted Commanders to win +184 at FanDuel on Friday; now Commanders to win · +188 at FanDuel. The number hasn't moved but the price is 4 cents better, from +184 to +188, and at +188 the edge is 0.5%, under the 2.5% a posted pick has to keep. If you already have it, you're set. It's a play again at +184 or better. Market says Colts by 4.5, the Nasty Number says Colts by 4.

Across the books: opened -3.0, now -2.5. The market has moved 0.5 away from 49ers, 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.

A Little Nasty, Over 42.5. Massey and FPI say over by 3.0 points, which is a little nasty, not a bet: the totals model is still proving itself. On the side, market says Rams by 3.5, the Nasty Number says Rams by 3. Nothing there.

A Little Nasty, not rated

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is the Over 42.5 · -115 at TOM. The totals model is still proving itself.

Weather at kickoff: 5 mph wind, 65°F, 45% chance of rain.

Across the books: opened +2.5, now +3.5. The market has moved 1.0 away from Eagles, 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: Over 42.5, only $110 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Also out: Hollywood Brown (WR, Eagles), Dallas Goedert (TE, Eagles), Terrance Ferguson (TE, Rams) and 6 more.

TOM: total 42.5 here against 43.1 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.

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 2026-10-03 09:32.

College

How much of our own number to use. On 144 finished games the best blend weight on the ratings is 0%; we use 30%. The loop moves it only past 300 games, so this is a reading, not a decision.

The line archive, 235 games. Between the first build that priced a game and the last before kickoff, the market moved toward our number 119 times, against it 82, and sat still 34. Our side taken at the open finished 0.69 points better than the close on average over 221 games. The close misses the final by 10.59, the open by 10.92, our raw ratings number by 12.37, Pinnacle's close by 10.56. Sharpest closing books: BetUS 10.08, MyBookie.ag 10.37, Pinnacle 10.56.

The line archive, 49 games. Between the first build that priced a game and the last before kickoff, the market moved toward our number 29 times, against it 15, and sat still 5. Our side taken at the open finished 0.76 points better than the close on average over 44 games. The close misses the final by 10.37, the open by 10.50, our raw ratings number by 10.79, Pinnacle's close by 10.36. Sharpest closing books: Courtside 7.82, Polymarket 9.38, Hard Rock Bet (FL) 10.00.

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). The first row is the board as it runs; a lower miss is better. Nothing here moves a setting; the loop does that from the ledger.

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 19 graded bets. That tells you nothing yet, in either direction. Ask again after fifty.

Closing line value
+0.23Sides: pts vs close, 28 bets, beat it 64%

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.

College, 186 finished games. The market's total misses the final by 11.7 points on average.

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.

55 priced · 7 Nasty Picks · 12 a little nasty · 5 damn near nasty · ratings rebuild before Tue · audit clean

13 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. 14 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. 13 games further out are waiting on those numbers, the first of them Tue 6 Oct, 7:00pm. We don't price a game against ratings we know are about to change.

We read 68 games across 22 books, priced every moneyline, spread and total, and cross-checked them against the Four. 7 were worth a second look. 7 cleared every check.

Since 12:19pm

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.

What the results are teaching us

Graded from every game we priced, not just the ones we backed.

0%Best weight on our ratings
10.41Points off per game at that weight
10.41The market on its own
176Games graded

Fitted straight from the finals, the weight is 2%, give or take 21% (one standard error, 176 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.

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. 877400 prices banked. Books that move most are usually the ones reacting to money rather than setting the number.

A number moves 1.26 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.
