Buck's Take

Three Nasty Picks on the counter for Saturday: Texas A&M +9, Nevada +5 and Colorado State +13. Read the receipt before you bet it.

Clemson at California, Clemson PK. Every system has Clemson by 5; the market has it a pick'em. The number at the book misses the Cut. It's a Nasty Pick at +1.

Massachusetts at Sacramento State, Sacramento State +5. Every system has Sacramento State by 1; the market has Massachusetts by 5. The number at the book misses the Cut. It's a Nasty Pick at +5.

A little nasty, if you want action: 5 sneakies; the strongest is Tulsa +7 (Tulsa at Arkansas) at 5.9% after the price. Small money, our side, no receipt. The one moving our way is Navy at UAB, Over 51.5, down 1.5 since the open.

If you're playing one, it's the receipt: Texas A&M at LSU, Texas A&M +9. That's the one. One unit, on the Receipts.

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: UNLV at Akron, Under 52.5. Best number on the board, 1 point better than Pinnacle, and the total has come up 3 points since it opened. A total, so it stays a sneaky.

Sniff of Nasty · Sunday's preview, 4 games from the systems that have rebuilt. Never a pick, never recorded. Strongest: Colts +2.5, Commanders +7, 49ers -7.5. Open

Sniff of Nasty

NFL: FPI and Massey have seen the last games, FPI and Massey and Sagarin and nfelo haven't. A preview, not a rung: built on the systems that have rebuilt, before the last one has. Nothing here is a pick and nothing here goes in the Receipts. Each game gets its real rung when every system has updated, usually Tuesday morning for college. Strongest first: the tag on each row is what the fresh systems would call it. If you like a number now, this is your head start.

Coastal Carolina +2.5 · -105 at Fanatics
Covers 49 in 100 by the Nasty Number. Needs 51 to break even. Not enough. Where, best first (Coastal Carolina): Fanatics or TOM +2.5 at -105 (-2.4%) · Kalshi, DraftKings or BetMGM +2.5 at -107 (-2.9%) · DraftKings Predictions or Caesars +2.5 at -108 (50¢ on the app) (-3.1%) · FanDuel +2.5 at -110 (-3.5%).
Not Nasty
Coastal Carolina to win · +118 (44¢) at Kalshi
We make it 44 in 100 to win. The price says 46. Nothing there. On Kalshi that's 44 cents fair, a play under 39. Where, best first (Coastal Carolina to win): Kalshi or TOM +118 (-1.6%) · Fanatics or BetMGM +115 (-2.3%) · DraftKings +114 (-2.6%) · FanDuel +110 (-3.5%) · DraftKings Predictions 46¢ on the app (+108 all-in) (-3.9%).

Either of the first two is fine.
No side

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, 72°F, 23% chance of rain. Total pulled down 0.7 for it.

Across the books: opened -1.5, now +2.5 (the market moved 3.8 toward Liberty).

Kalshi thin: Liberty Flames -2.5, only $136 available; Under 51.5, only $245 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Weather at kickoff: 7 mph wind, 65°F.

Across the books: opened +1.5, now +0.5. The market has moved 0.7 away from Clemson, 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's a play at +1.0.

Buck

Damn Near Nasty. Sacramento State +5.0: FPI is the holdout at Massachusetts by 11.5; the other 3 of 4 our side, 4.4% 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.

A Little Nasty
Sacramento State to win · +165 at Fanatics
We make it 43 in 100 to win. The price says 38. That's value. On Kalshi that's 43 cents fair, a play under 38. This is a price bet, not a pick to win: Sacramento 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.

Tulsa +7.0 · -105 at BetMGM
Covers 57 in 100 by the Nasty Number. Needs 51 to break even. Worth a look. Where, best first (Tulsa): BetMGM +7 at -105 (5.9%) · FanDuel +7.5 at -122 (4.9%) · Fanatics +7 at -110 (4.8%) · DraftKings +7 at -112 (4.3%) · TOM +7 at -114 (3.9%).
A Little Nasty
Tulsa to win · +230 at FanDuel
We make it 36 in 100 to win. The price says 30. That's value. On Kalshi that's 36 cents fair, a play under 31. This is a price bet, not a pick to win: Tulsa 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 (Tulsa to win): FanDuel +230 (5.3%) · BetMGM +225 (4.8%) · Fanatics or DraftKings +220 (4.4%) · Kalshi 30¢ (4.1%) · TOM +205 (2.8%). Either of the first two is fine.

A Little Nasty, not rated

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Tulsa +7.0 · -105 at BetMGM. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 5 mph wind, 82°F.

Across the books: opened -9.5, now -7.0. The market has moved 2.5 toward Tulsa, 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: Arkansas Razorbacks -7.5, only $465 available; Under 52.5, only $156 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

TOM: total 51.5 here against 51.8 consensus.

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

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

Across the books: opened +2.0, now +3.5 (the market moved 1.5 toward TCU). It crossed 3 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Kalshi thin: TCU Horned Frogs -3.5, only $24 available; Over 49.5, only $24 available; Under 49.5, only $236 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

TOM: spread +3.0 here against +3.4 consensus.

Kalshi thin: Under 48.5, only $13 available; Stanford Cardinal ML, only $3 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

We make it 32 in 100 to win. The price says 28. That's value. On Kalshi that's 32 cents fair, a play under 28. This is a price bet, not a pick to win: Commanders 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.

No side

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Commanders +7.0 · -108 at BetMGM. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 10 mph wind, 69°F.

Across the books: opened +2.5, now +7.0. The market has moved 4.6 away from Commanders, 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 39.5, only $146 available; Under 39.5, only $78 available; Washington Commanders ML, only $196 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

QB out: Jayden Daniels (Commanders), Doubtful. Priced at 2.5 points off FPI, Massey, so the number here already carries the backup.

QB out: Sam Darnold (Seahawks), Out. Priced at 2.5 points off FPI, Massey, so the number here already carries the backup.

Also out: Anthony Bradford (G, Seahawks), Ty Okada (S, Seahawks).

TOM: total 40.0 here against 40.4 consensus.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is 49ers -7.5 · -106 at Caesars. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 2 mph wind, 73°F.

Kalshi thin: Over 47.5, only $150 available; Under 47.5, only $275 available; Over 47.5, only $282 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Also out: Demarcus Robinson (WR, 49ers), Brandon Aiyuk (WR, 49ers), Will Johnson (CB, Cardinals) and 4 more.

TOM: total 48.0 here against 47.6 consensus.

the Under 44.0 · -107 at TOM
Massey projects 44 and FPI projects 42. Within 2 of the market; nothing to bet. Where, best first (Under): DraftKings or BetMGM 44.5 at -112 (-0.8%) · TOM 44 at -107 (-1.2%) · Kalshi 44.5 at 52¢ (-1.7%) · Caesars 44.5 at -118 (-2.1%) · FanDuel 43.5 at -105 (-2.3%). Either of the first two is fine.
No side

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

Across the books: opened +4.0, now +3.5 (the market moved 0.9 toward Bears).

Kalshi thin: Over 44.5, only $20 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

QB out: Caleb Williams (Bears), Doubtful. Priced at 2.5 points off FPI, Massey, so the number here already carries the backup.

Also out: Dallas Goedert (TE, Eagles), Eli Stowers (TE, Eagles), Landon Dickerson (G, Eagles) and 4 more.

TOM: moneyline +146 here against +164 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.

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.

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.

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: 28 of 81 moved our way, average +0.2 points, and the full board kept the side 39 times, flipped it 4, went quiet 38.

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.

Then the tools: build detail, the funnel, what moved, the line archive, ratings freshness, and the bet log.

73 priced · 3 Nasty Picks · 19 a little nasty · 4 damn near nasty · audit clean

We read 73 games across 22 books, priced every moneyline, spread and total, and cross-checked them against the Four. 2 were worth a second look. 3 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
9.76Points off per game at that weight
9.76The market on its own
86Games graded

Fitted straight from the finals, the weight is 25%, give or take 25% (one standard error, 86 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. 831414 prices banked. Books that move most are usually the ones reacting to money rather than setting the number.

A number moves 1.17 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.
