Nasty Picks

A ticket written here stays on the board until kickoff and is cashed at the number we posted. Each one says what to do at today's line.

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.

Buck

Buck's Take

Two Nasty Picks on the counter for Saturday: Missouri State +4.5 and West Virginia +10. Read the receipt before you bet it.

Miami (OH) at Cincinnati, Cincinnati -16. Every system has Cincinnati by 18; the market has Cincinnati by 16. The number at the book misses the Cut. It's a Nasty Pick at -14.

Eagles at Titans, Titans +7. Every system has Eagles by 5.5; the market has Eagles by 7. 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 Under 54 (Florida at Auburn) at 5.2% after the price. Small money, our side, no receipt. The one moving our way is Kansas at Arizona State, Over 50.5, down 3 since the open.

If you're playing one, it's the receipt: Marshall at Missouri State, Missouri State +4.5. Conviction is the whole point of the rung. This is it.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Cincinnati -16.0 · -105 at TOM. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 3 mph wind, 86°F.

Across the books: opened -14.5, now -16.0. The market has moved 1.3 toward Cincinnati, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking. A play at -14.0 or better.

Sources disagree

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Ohio +7.0 · -115 at TOM. A coin flip, the better half of it.

Weather at kickoff: 5 mph wind, 89°F.

Across the books: opened -4.0, now -6.5. The market has moved 2.8 away from Ohio, 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 48.5, only $417 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Texas A&M -16.5 · -120 at TOM. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 5 mph wind, 95°F.

Across the books: opened -14.5, now -17.0. The market has moved 2.4 toward Texas A&M, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking.

Across the books: opened -41.5, now -39.0 (the market moved 2.8 toward Mercer).

The ratings sit 16 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.

Weather at kickoff: 6 mph wind, 63°F.

Across the books: opened -39.5, now -38.5 (the market moved 1.1 toward Maine).

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.

Titans +7.0 · -107 at TOM
Covers 55 in 100 by the Nasty Number. Needs 52 to break even. Worth a look.
A Little Nasty
Titans to win · +265 at TOM
We make it 30 in 100 to win. The price says 27. That's value. On Kalshi that's 30 cents fair, a play under 26. This is a price bet, not a pick to win: Titans 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.

the Over 39.0 · -110 at TOM
Massey projects 44 and FPI projects 40. Within 2 of the market; nothing to bet.
No side

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Titans +7.0 · -107 at TOM. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 5 mph wind, 95°F.

Across the books: opened +5.5, now +7.5. The market has moved 1.8 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: Landon Dickerson (G, Eagles), Kendell Brooks (S, Titans), Milo Eifler (LB, Titans).

TOM: spread +7.0 here against +7.3 consensus.

Across the books: opened +6.0, now +4.0. The market has moved 2.0 toward Cardinals, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking.

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

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

Across the books: opened -9.5, now -6.5. The market has moved 2.8 toward Raiders, 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.

Also out: Dont'e Thornton Jr. (WR, Raiders), Carter Runyon (TE, Raiders), Keyron Crawford (DE, Raiders).

TOM: total 43.5 here against 43.2 consensus.

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.

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 head start. 39 Sniffs of Nasty have landed on a rung: the market moved toward the Sunday number 7 times, against it 8, average -0.04 points; the full board kept the side 31 times, flipped 4, went quiet 4.

What a bigger change would have done. Each recorded game day replayed with a candidate setting and scored against the finals (2026-09-14). 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.

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.

The head start: 39 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: 7 of 39 moved our way, average -0.0 points, and the full board kept the side 31 times, flipped it 4, went quiet 4. 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.

Buck Nasty at the table under the Nasty Picks sign

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

89 priced · 2 Nasty Picks · 9 a little nasty · 2 damn near nasty · ratings rebuild before Thu · audit clean

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 Thu 24 Sep, 7:15pm. We don't price a game against ratings we know are about to change.

We read 93 games across 11 books, priced every moneyline, spread and total, and cross-checked them against the Four. 13 were worth a second look. 2 cleared every check.

Since 11:18am

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.

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.

The line archive

Every book's price, saved on every run. 617627 prices banked. Books that move most are usually the ones reacting to money rather than setting the number.

A number moves 1.19 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.
