Buck's Take

Five Nasty Picks on the counter this week: San Diego State +15.5, UNLV +3, Iowa +3, Texas A&M +3.5 and UCF +8.5 -110 at Fanatics. Read the receipt before you bet it.

Ole Miss at Vanderbilt, Vanderbilt +10.5. Every system has Ole Miss by 5; the market has Ole Miss by 9.5. The number at the book misses the Cut. It's a Nasty Pick at +11.5.

North Carolina at Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh -3.5. Every system has Pittsburgh by 9; the market has Pittsburgh by 3.5. The number at the book misses the Cut. It's a Nasty Pick at -3.

A little nasty, if you want action: 5 sneakies; the strongest is Giants +4 (Giants at Commanders) at 3.3% after the price. Small money, our side, no receipt. The one moving our way is Coastal Carolina at Marshall, Coastal Carolina +4.5, 1.5 points our way since the open.

Since the last build, North Dakota State at UNLV slipped to A Little Nasty; Texas A&M at Missouri slipped to A Little Nasty; South Carolina at Florida climbed to Damn Near Nasty.

If you're playing one, it's the receipt: San Diego State at Oregon State, San Diego State +15.5. The number's wrong and the Four agree. That's the receipt.

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: Coastal Carolina at Marshall, Coastal Carolina +4.5. Best number on the board, half a point better than Pinnacle, and the line has moved 1.5 points our way since it opened. Still a sneaky. Massey is the holdout at Marshall by 5.5.

Totals That Are Just Flat Nasty

Totals, on their own, ranked by edge. Two numbers read every total: the model (each team's pace, efficiency and scoring this season, the weather and the market, fitted on four seasons) and the pace number (plays times points per play). College posts when the total opens 2 or more off the model with the pace number on the same side, or 3 off either alone; the read is good for about 12 hours, and the market has usually closed most of it by then. The NFL posts when the model sits 4 or more off the market, any day of the week; it is the newest number here with the shortest record. Team totals and first-half totals read the pace number at 3 points scaled to their size. The edge is the backtest's win chance on a gap that size less what the price costs: low single digits at best, and the ranking is the point. Each one is posted at the number shown and graded there, in its own record. Not a Nasty Pick. Size it that way.

The play
Iowa to win · +126 at FanDuel
We make it 48 in 100 to win. The price says 44. Today's number on the posted bet; the receipt above is the call. On Kalshi that's 48 cents fair, a play under 43. This is a price bet, not a pick to win: Iowa 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.

Took this bet?

Weather at kickoff: 3 mph wind, 56°F, 33% chance of rain.

Across the books: opened -1.0, now -2.5. The market has moved 1.5 away from Iowa, 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.

Kalshi thin: Under 41.5, only $312 available; Washington Huskies ML, only $117 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

TOM: spread -3.0 here against -2.6 consensus.

theScore Bet still has Iowa +3.5 while Pinnacle is at Washington by 2.5.

Nastiest. Posted Wednesday at San Diego State +14.5 -105 at FanDuel. Bet it. San Diego State +14.5 -105 at FanDuel, the number we posted on Wednesday, is still on the board: FanDuel at -105. San Diego State +15.5 · -110 at Fanatics is worth about the same on our curve, but it's a different bet from the receipt: the game landing on exactly 15 cashes one and not the other. Market says Oregon State by 15.5, the Nasty Number says Oregon State by 12.5.

Across the books: opened -1.0, now -3.5. The market has moved 2.3 away from Texas A&M, 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 3 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Weather at kickoff: 6 mph wind, 77°F.

Across the books: opened -9.5, now -10.5. The market has moved 1.0 away from UCF, 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 +11.0. It crossed 10 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Kalshi thin: UCF Knights ML, only $218 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is South Carolina +12.5 · -110 at FanDuel. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 15 mph wind, 84°F. Total pulled down 1.8 for it.

Moved up since the last run: was A Little Nasty · South Carolina, now Damn Near Nasty.

Across the books: opened -15.0, now -11.5. The market has moved 3.2 toward South Carolina, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking. A play at +13.0 or better. It crossed 14 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Kalshi thin: Under 58.5, only $25 available; Over 57.5, only $152 available; Under 57.5, only $100 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

TOM: total 58.5 here against 59.2 consensus.

Across the books: opened +9.5, now +7.5 (the market moved 2.0 toward Georgia Southern).

Kalshi thin: Over 51.5, only $4 available; Georgia Southern Eagles ML, only $20 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Fresno State +6.5 · +105 at TOM. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 5 mph wind, 78°F.

Across the books: opened +8.0, now +6.5. The market has moved 1.7 toward Fresno State, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking. It crossed 7 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Kalshi thin: Boise State Broncos ML, only $267 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Michigan State +2.5 · +100 (48¢) at Kalshi
Covers 50 in 100 by the Nasty Number. Needs 50 to break even. Too thin for the price.

Weather at kickoff: 12 mph wind, 74°F. Total pulled down 0.7 for it.

Across the books: opened +3.5, now +2.5. The market has moved 0.8 toward Michigan State, 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: Michigan State Spartans ML, only $259 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Titans +7.5 · -110 at BetMGM. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 10 mph wind, 69°F, 30% chance of rain.

Across the books: opened +6.5, now +7.5. The market has moved 1.0 away from Titans, 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: Tank Dell (WR, Texans), Braden Smith (OT, Texans), Joshua Williams (CB, Titans) and 1 more.

TOM: total 38.0 here against 37.7 consensus.

We make it 45 in 100 to win. The price says 40. That's value. On Kalshi that's 45 cents fair, a play under 41. This is a price bet, not a pick to win: Ravens loses this more often than not.

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, 89°F.

Across the books: opened +9.0, now +6.5. The market has moved 2.6 away from Bengals, 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: Over 42.5, only $19 available; Miami Dolphins ML, only $291 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Also out: Storm Duck (CB, Dolphins).

TOM: spread +7.0 here against +6.6 consensus.

Across the books: opened -2.5, now -3.0. The market has moved 0.6 away from Bills, 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 54.5, only $102 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Nasty Number
Jacksonville State by 30.6 pts off the market
All 1 systems lean Jacksonville State. The Nasty Number is 0.6 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. SP+ and FPI and Sagarin haven't seen the last games yet, so this could change.

No total

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Jacksonville State -2.5 · -110. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 0 mph wind, 76°F.

Across the books: opened -2.0, now -2.5. The market has moved 0.5 toward Jacksonville State, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking.

Kalshi thin: Jacksonville State Gamecocks -2.5, only $132 available; Florida International Panthers +2.5, only $25 available; Over 46.5, only $106 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.

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.

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.

Totals That Are Just Flat Nasty

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 2026-10-09 09:24.

The head start. 156 Sniffs of Nasty have landed on a rung: the market moved toward the Sunday number 63 times, against it 40, average 0.37 points; the full board kept the side 61 times, flipped 4, went quiet 91.

What a bigger change would have done. Each recorded game day replayed with a candidate setting and scored against the finals (2026-09-29, 2026-09-30, 2026-10-01, 2026-10-02, 2026-10-03, 2026-10-04, 2026-10-05, 2026-10-05). 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

29 graded bets. Enough to start reading, not enough to be sure of.

Closing line value
+0.05Sides: pts vs close, 34 bets, beat it 53%

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: 156 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: 63 of 156 moved our way, average +0.4 points, and the full board kept the side 61 times, flipped it 4, went quiet 91. 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, 246 finished games. The market's total misses the final by 12.1 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.

65 priced · 5 Nasty Picks · 8 a little nasty · 6 damn near nasty · ratings rebuild before Tue · audit clean

Not every source loaded: SP+ hasn't changed in 12 days, so it may be stale at the source. Anything that depends on those is missing from the board rather than guessed at. 4 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. 4 games further out are waiting on those numbers, the first of them Tue 13 Oct, 6:00pm. We don't price a game against ratings we know are about to change.

We read 69 games across 22 books, priced every moneyline, spread and total, and cross-checked them against the Four. 1 was 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
10.78Points off per game at that weight
10.78The market on its own
252Games graded

Fitted straight from the finals, the weight is 4%, give or take 19% (one standard error, 252 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. 916074 prices banked. Books that move most are usually the ones reacting to money rather than setting the number.

A number moves 1.32 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.

  • FPI updated 5 days ago
  • FPI NFL updated today
  • Massey college updated today
  • Massey nfl updated today
  • SP+ unchanged for 11 days
  • Sagarin updated 4 days ago
  • Sagarin NFL updated 2 days ago
  • nfelo updated 2 days ago

A rating that hasn't moved in over a week during the season is probably stale at the source. Treat anything leaning on it carefully.
