Buck's Take

Five Nasty Picks and One Nasty Dog on the counter this week: San Diego State +4.5 -106 at FanDuel, James Madison -15.5 -110 at TOM, Cincinnati +7 -102 at DraftKings, Louisiana -6 -104 at TOM, South Florida -5.5 -110 at Caesars and Commanders to win +184 at FanDuel. Read the receipt before you bet it.

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.

Cardinals at Giants, Giants +2.5. Every system has Giants by 2; the market has Cardinals by 2.5. That's a Nasty Pick in college. In the NFL I hold power ratings at damn near until they earn more: 54% over eleven years is real, it's just not the full receipt yet. Good bet. Not a Nasty Pick. Size it that way.

A little nasty, if you want action: 5 sneakies; the strongest is Over 56.5 (Louisville at NC State) at 6.5% 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, Ohio State at Iowa slipped to A Little Nasty.

If you're playing one, it's the receipt: Texas State at San Diego State, San Diego State +4.5 -106 at FanDuel. 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.

Nasty Pick. Posted Monday at San Diego State +4.5 -106 at FanDuel. Don't add this. The market has moved 5.7 points away from San Diego State since Monday. A move that size against the ratings usually means news the Four don't have. We wouldn't make this call today. It stays on the record at +4.5 -106 and grades there. 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 -108 (5.2%) · TOM +10 at -112 (4.3%) · Kalshi +9.5 at 49¢ (4.2%) · DraftKings Predictions or Fanatics +9.5 at -104 (49¢ on the app) (4.0%). Either of the first two is fine.

Either of the first two is fine.
Sources disagree

Weather at kickoff: 5 mph wind, 92°F.

Across the books: opened +3.5, now +9.5. The market has moved 6.2 away from San Diego State, so the number is better than it was, but a move against the ratings usually means news. There's no injury feed for college, so the move is the warning. It crossed 7 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

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 +348 consensus.

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

Across the books: opened -18.0, now -15.0. The market has moved 2.9 away from James Madison, so the number is better than it was, but a move against the ratings usually means news. There's no injury feed for college, so the move is the warning. It's a play at -15.0. It crossed 17 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Kalshi thin: Marshall Thundering Herd +14.5, only $346 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

TOM: spread -15.5 here against -15.1 consensus.

Weather at kickoff: 5 mph wind, 79°F, 91% chance of rain. Total pulled down 1 for it.

Across the books: opened -14.0, now -13.5. The market has moved 0.5 away from South Alabama, so the number is better than it was, but a move against the ratings usually means news. There's no injury feed for college, so the move is the warning. It's a play at -12.0. It crossed 14 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

A Little Nasty, Fresno State. Market says Washington State by 1.5, the Nasty Number says Washington State by 0.5. At -103 that's too thin to bet. A half point better and it's a play.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is the Under 62.0 · -105 at TOM. Weather under, only before the market takes the total down.

Weather at kickoff: 16 mph wind, 84°F. Total pulled down 2.1 for it.

Across the books: opened +4.5, now +7.0. The market has moved 2.4 away from Colorado State, so the number is better than it was, but a move against the ratings usually means news. There's no injury feed for college, so the move is the warning.

Texas Southern +47.5 · -110 at FanDuel
Covers 61 in 100 by the Nasty Number, but lines this big overshoot and the ratings can't price them. Not a bet. Where, best first (Texas Southern): FanDuel +47.5 at -110 (8.3%) · DraftKings +47.5 at -112 (7.9%) · BetMGM or DraftKings Predictions +46.5 at -108 (50¢ on the app) (7.4%) · Fanatics +46.5 at -115 (5.9%) · TOM +46 at -110 (5.9%). Either of the first two is fine.
Blowout line

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).

Kalshi thin: Under 62.5, only $17 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

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 -46.0 here against -47.0 consensus.

The line is -46.0. Rating differences overshoot on games this lopsided, so whatever gap shows up is arithmetic rather than insight.

The line is -19.0. 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.

Giants +2.5 · -107 at TOM
Covers 53 in 100 by the Nasty Number. Needs 52 to break even. Too thin for the price. Where, best first (Giants): TOM or Kalshi +2.5 at -107 (1.6%) · DraftKings, BetMGM or DraftKings Predictions +2.5 at -108 (50¢ on the app) (1.4%) · Caesars +2.5 at -109 (1.2%) · FanDuel or Fanatics +2.5 at -110 (0.9%).

We make it 48 in 100 to win. The price says 45. Not enough. On Kalshi that's 48 cents fair, a play under 43.

Either of the first two is fine.
No side

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Giants +2.5 · -107 at TOM. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 8 mph wind, 64°F.

Across the books: opened -2.5, now +2.5. The market has moved 4.9 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.

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

Also out: Paulson Adebo (CB, Giants), Korie Black (CB, Giants), Will Johnson (CB, Cardinals) and 5 more.

TOM: total 44.0 here against 44.4 consensus.

Cowboys +3.0 · -110 at FanDuel
Covers 55 in 100 by the Nasty Number. Needs 52 to break even. Too thin for the price. Where, best first (Cowboys): BetMGM +3 at -108 (2.8%) · Caesars +3.5 at -128 (2.4%) · FanDuel or TOM +3 at -110 (2.3%) · DraftKings +3 at -112 (1.8%) · Kalshi +2.5 at 47¢ (1.4%). Either of the first two is fine.

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

Kalshi thin: Over 48.5, only $288 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

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

Weather at kickoff: 7 mph wind, 89°F.

Kalshi thin: Under 37.5, only $166 available; Under 38.5, only $15 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Green Bay Packers has had 9 days off against 6, worth about 0.2 points.

Under 48.5 is a little nasty. Our total is 4.5 points under the book. Ratings totals don't beat the closing number over four seasons, so a total is never a pick on its own here. The weather is the part worth acting on, before the market takes the number down.

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.

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).

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

Closing line value
+0.20Sides: 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.

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.

45 priced · 5 Nasty Picks · 10 a little nasty · 4 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. 18 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 58 games across 22 books, priced every moneyline, spread and total, and cross-checked them against the Four. 4 were worth a second look. 5 cleared every check.

Since 2:30pm

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
10.81Points off per game at that weight
10.81The market on its own
187Games graded

Fitted straight from the finals, the weight is 1%, give or take 22% (one standard error, 187 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. 882679 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.

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.
