Buck's Take

Two Nasty Picks on the counter this week: Pittsburgh +3.5 and Cincinnati +7. Read the receipt before you bet it.

UCF at Houston, UCF +11. Every system has Houston by 6.5; the market has Houston by 11. The number at the book misses the Cut. It's a Nasty Pick at +11.5.

Baylor at Arizona State, Baylor +4. Every system has Baylor by 2.5; the market has Arizona State by 3.5. The number at the book misses the Cut. It's a Nasty Pick at +4.

A little nasty, if you want action: 5 sneakies; the strongest is Over 47 (Navy at Air Force) at 3.8% after the price. Small money, our side, no receipt.

Since the last build, Baylor at Arizona State climbed to Damn Near Nasty; UCF at Houston climbed to Damn Near Nasty; UL Monroe at South Alabama climbed to Damn Near Nasty.

If you're playing one, it's the receipt: Pittsburgh at Virginia Tech, Pittsburgh +3.5. The number's wrong and the Four agree. That's the receipt.

Nasty Dogs

No dog worth the price this week.

Damn Near Nasty

4 games where the ratings agree and the number doesn't. Each row says what would make it a pick. Dashed line: the Nasty Number. Dot: where the market is now.

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: 5 mph wind, 64°F.

Across the books: opened +4.0, now +3.5 (the market moved 0.6 toward Bears).

Kalshi thin: Over 41.5, only $18 available; Over 41.5, only $304 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

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

Also out: Hollywood Brown (WR, Eagles), Dallas Goedert (TE, Eagles), Fred Johnson (OT, Eagles) and 5 more.

TOM: moneyline +172 here against +191 consensus.

A Little Nasty, North Texas. Market says Tulsa by 2.5, the Nasty Number says Tulsa by 1. At -112 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 North Texas +2.5 · -112 at TOM. A coin flip, the better half of it.

Weather at kickoff: 5 mph wind, 74°F, 62% chance of rain. Total pulled down 1 for it.

Moved down since the last run: was Sniff of Nasty · North Texas, now A Little Nasty · North Texas.

Across the books: opened -2.5, now -1.5. The market has moved 0.9 toward North Texas, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking.

Kalshi thin: Tulsa Golden Hurricane -1.5, only $12 available; Over 57.5, only $13 available; Tulsa Golden Hurricane ML, only $13 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

TOM: spread -2.5 here against -1.6 consensus.

Kalshi thin: Liberty Flames -7.5, only $46 available; Over 49.5, only $104 available; Liberty Flames ML, only $279 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

No side

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is UCF +11.0 · -110 at Fanatics. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 10 mph wind, 79°F, 40% chance of rain.

Moved up since the last run: was Sniff of Nasty · UCF, now Damn Near Nasty. The line went from -10.5 to -11.0.

Across the books: opened -12.0, now -11.0. The market has moved 0.8 toward UCF, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking. A play at +11.5 or better.

Kalshi thin: Houston Cougars -10.5, only $43 available; Over 51.5, only $60 available; UCF Knights ML, only $3 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Across the books: opened +3.5, now +4.0. The market has moved 0.5 toward Ohio, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking.

Across the books: opened -3.5, now -3.0. The market has moved 0.5 away from Hawai'i, 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.

Weather at kickoff: 6 mph wind, 68°F.

Across the books: opened +3.0, now +4.5 (the market moved 1.9 toward Florida). It crossed 3 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Kalshi thin: Missouri Tigers +5.5, only $277 available; Florida Gators -5.5, only $197 available; Over 56.5, only $170 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Across the books: opened -8.0, now -7.0. The market has moved 1.0 away from Tennessee, 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: UConn Huskies +5.5, only $5 available; Under 52.5, only $26 available; Syracuse Orange ML, only $72 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.

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.

Our side taken at the open finished 0.78 points better than the close on average over 41 games. The close misses the final by 10.28, the open by 10.39, our raw ratings number by 10.76, Pinnacle's close by 10.27. Sharpest closing books: Courtside 7.12, Polymarket 9.07, Hard Rock Bet (FL) 9.81.

The head start. 87 Sniffs of Nasty have landed on a rung: the market moved toward the Sunday number 30 times, against it 22, average 0.24 points; the full board kept the side 41 times, flipped 4, went quiet 42.

What a bigger change would have done. Each recorded game day replayed with a candidate setting and scored against the finals (2026-09-17, 2026-09-18, 2026-09-19, 2026-09-20, 2026-09-21, 2026-09-22, 2026-09-23, 2026-09-23).

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

Closing line value
+0.38Sides: pts vs close, 18 bets, beat it 61%

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: 87 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: 30 of 87 moved our way, average +0.2 points, and the full board kept the side 41 times, flipped it 4, went quiet 42. 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, 181 finished games. The market's total misses the final by 11.7 points on average.

Every game on the slate. A game the board had a call on carries the rung, the bet as called, and how it's doing once the game starts.

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.

57 priced · 2 Nasty Picks · 14 a little nasty · 4 damn near nasty · ratings rebuild before Thu · audit clean

14 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. 1 game already kicked off and is 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

Tomorrow, once the ratings rebuild on this weekend's results. 14 games further out are waiting on those numbers, the first of them Thu 1 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. 1 was worth a second look. 2 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
10.34Points off per game at that weight
10.34The market on its own
168Games graded

Fitted straight from the finals, the weight is 2%, give or take 21% (one standard error, 168 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.

1.5 to 3.03-827%

The line archive

Every book's price, saved on every run. 850584 prices banked. Books that move most are usually the ones reacting to money rather than setting the number.

A number moves 1.27 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.
