Buck's Take

Five Nasty Picks on the counter this week: San Diego State +14.5, Iowa +3, UCF +10.5, UNLV +3 +100 at TOM and Texas A&M +3.5 -108 at TOM. Straight bets. Don't make it a parlay.

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.

Miami (OH) at Massachusetts, Miami (OH) -2. Every system has Miami (OH) by 6; the market has Miami (OH) by 2. The number at the book misses the Cut. It's a Nasty Pick at -2.

A little nasty, if you want action: 5 sneakies; the strongest is Giants +3.5 (Giants at Commanders) at 3.6% after the price. For the couch, not the mortgage. The one moving our way is Wyoming at San José State, San José State to win, 2 points our way since the open.

If you're playing one, it's the receipt: San Diego State at Oregon State, San Diego State +14.5. Conviction is the whole point of the rung. This is it.

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: Wyoming at San José State, San José State to win. Best number on the board, 2 points better than Pinnacle, and the line has moved 2 points our way since it opened. Still a sneaky. Misses the Cut: needs 4.5% after the price.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Western Kentucky -1.0 · -105 at TOM. A coin flip, the better half of it.

Weather at kickoff: 5 mph wind, 79°F.

Across the books: opened PK, now -1.0. The market has moved 1.4 toward Western Kentucky, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking.

Kalshi thin: Over 57.5, only $474 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Polymarket still has Western Kentucky +0.5 while Pinnacle is at Western Kentucky by 1.

Across the books: opened -1.5, now -2.5. The market has moved 1.3 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.

The play
Iowa to win · +140 at DraftKings
We make it 47 in 100 to win. The price says 42. Today's number on the posted bet; the receipt above is the call. On Kalshi that's 47 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. Where, best first (Iowa to win): DraftKings +140 (5.6%) · Caesars +138 (5.3%) · Fanatics, BetMGM or Kalshi +135 (4.7%) · FanDuel or TOM +130 (3.8%) · DraftKings Predictions 42¢ on the app (+127 all-in) (3.3%).

Took this bet?

Weather at kickoff: 5 mph wind, 57°F, 49% chance of rain.

Across the books: opened -1.0, now -3.0. The market has moved 2.0 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. It crossed 3 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Kalshi thin: Iowa Hawkeyes +3.5, only $76 available; Over 41.5, only $63 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

TOM: total 41.0 here against 41.5 consensus.

Weather at kickoff: 6 mph wind, 75°F.

Across the books: opened -14.0, now -10.5 (the market moved 3.4 toward Iowa State).

Kalshi thin: Over 45.5, only $90 available; BYU Cougars -10.5, only $54 available; Iowa State Cyclones +10.5, only $154 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Across the books: opened +3.5, now +3.0. The market has moved 0.6 toward UNLV, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking. A play at +3.5 or better.

Kalshi thin: Over 48.5, only $0 available; Under 48.5, only $461 available; Over 47.5, only $137 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Buck

Nasty Pick. Posted Wednesday at Texas A&M +3.5 -108 at TOM. Don't bet this at today's number. We posted Texas A&M +3.5 -108 at TOM on Wednesday; now Texas A&M +3.5 · -115 at DraftKings. The number hasn't moved but the price is 7 cents worse, from -108 to -115, and that's a different bet from the one we posted, pushes counted. If you already have it at +3.5, you're set. It's a play again at +3.5 -108 or better. Market says Missouri by 3.5, the Nasty Number says Missouri by 2.5.

Covers 56 in 100 by the Nasty Number. Needs 53 to break even. Today's number on the posted bet; the receipt above is the call. Where, best first (Texas A&M): DraftKings, Fanatics, TOM or Kalshi +3.5 at -115 (2.1%) · DraftKings Predictions +3.5 at 52¢ on the app (-117 all-in) (1.7%) · BetMGM +3.5 at -118 (1.5%) · FanDuel +3.5 at -120 (1.1%). Either of the first two is fine.
The call
Texas A&M to win · +145 at DraftKings
We make it 44 in 100 to win. The price says 41. That's value. On Kalshi that's 44 cents fair, a play under 39. This is a price bet, not a pick to win: Texas A&M 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 (Texas A&M to win): DraftKings +145 (3.0%) · Fanatics, BetMGM or Kalshi +140 (2.2%) · DraftKings Predictions or TOM +138 (40¢ on the app) (1.8%) · FanDuel +132 (0.7%).

Weather at kickoff: 7 mph wind, 78°F.

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's a play at +4.0. It crossed 3 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Kalshi thin: Missouri Tigers -3.5, only $257 available; Missouri Tigers ML, only $74 available; Missouri Tigers ML, only $71 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Across the books: opened +2.0, now +3.5. The market has moved 1.4 away from Chargers, 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: Denver Broncos -3.5, only $86 available; Over 42.5, only $205 available; Under 42.5, only $91 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Also out: Pat Bryant (WR, Broncos), Pat Surtain II (CB, Broncos).

A Little Nasty, Giants. Market says Commanders by 3.5, the Nasty Number says Commanders by 3. At -104 that's too thin to bet. A half point better and it's a play.

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, 89°F. Total pulled down 0.7 for it.

Across the books: opened +9.0, now +7.0. The market has moved 2.3 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.

Also out: Kenneth Grant (DT, Dolphins).

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

Kalshi thin: Detroit Lions ML, only $227 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Also out: Paris Johnson Jr. (OT, Cardinals), Isaiah Adams (G, Cardinals), Cade Mays (C, Lions) and 1 more.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Bills +3.0 · -103 at TOM. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Across the books: opened -2.5, now -3.0. The market has moved 0.5 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: Over 54.5, only $17 available; Los Angeles Rams -3.5, only $139 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Also out: Terrance Ferguson (TE, Rams).

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.

Bets you tick are kept in this browser for now. The group leaderboard comes with the public version, once there's somewhere to send them.

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 2026-10-08 09:06.

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
-0.02Sides: pts vs close, 34 bets, beat it 50%

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, 242 finished games. The market's total misses the final by 12.0 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.

70 priced · 5 Nasty Picks · 8 a little nasty · 5 damn near nasty · ratings rebuild before Thu · audit: 1 problem

The audit found 1 problem at Thu 11:30am. New picks are held off the record until the next clean build; everything posted before stands. San Diego State at Oregon State: pick at +14.5 while BetMGM hangs +16.5, and the card doesn't say Points or price
Not every source loaded: SP+ hasn't changed in 11 days, so it may be stale at the source. Anything that depends on those is missing from the board rather than guessed at. 1 game further out is 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. 1 game further out is waiting on those numbers, the first of them Thu 15 Oct, 7:15pm. We don't price a game against ratings we know are about to change.

We read 71 games across 22 books, priced every moneyline, spread and total, and cross-checked them against the Four. 3 were worth a second look. 5 cleared every check.

What's changed since 11:20am

  • OffBaltimore Ravens at Atlanta Falcons dropped off. It was Baltimore Ravens +3.5.

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
10.72Points off per game at that weight
10.72The market on its own
247Games graded

Fitted straight from the finals, the weight is 2%, give or take 19% (one standard error, 247 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. 910169 prices banked. Books that move most are usually the ones reacting to money rather than setting the number.

A number moves 1.30 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.

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.
