Buck's Take

Two Nasty Picks and One Nasty Dog on the counter for Saturday: Colorado State +13.5, Nevada +5 -105 at TOM and Texas A&M to win. Straight bets. Don't make it a parlay.

Massachusetts at Sacramento State, Sacramento State +4.5. Every system has Sacramento State by 1; the market has Massachusetts by 4.5. The number at the book misses the Cut. It's a Nasty Pick at +4.5.

Eagles at Bears, Bears +5. Every system has Eagles by 1; the market has Eagles by 4.5. 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 Tulsa +7 (Tulsa at Arkansas) at 5.8% after the price. For the couch, not the mortgage. The one moving our way is Army at Temple, Over 48.5, down 1.5 since the open.

Since the last build, Eagles at Bears climbed to Damn Near Nasty; Louisiana at Charlotte slipped to A Little Nasty; Chiefs at Dolphins climbed to Damn Near Nasty.

If you're playing one, it's the receipt: Colorado State at UTSA, Colorado State +13.5. The number's wrong and the Four agree. That's the receipt.

Nasty Dogs

Price bets. Each loses more often than not; the payout is what's mispriced.

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.

Liberty -2.5 · -112 at DraftKings
Covers 52 in 100 by the Nasty Number. Needs 53 to break even. Not enough. Where, best first (Liberty): FanDuel -2.5 at -110 (-0.7%) · DraftKings, Caesars, BetMGM or TOM -2.5 at -112 (-1.1%) · Kalshi -2.5 at 53¢ (-3.1%) · DraftKings Predictions -2.5 at 53¢ on the app (-122 all-in) (-3.3%). Either of the first two is fine.
Not Nasty
Liberty to win · -125 at Caesars
We make it 56 in 100 to win. The price says 56. Not enough. On Kalshi that's 56 cents fair, a play under 52. Where, best first (Liberty to win): Caesars -125 (0.9%) · FanDuel, DraftKings or BetMGM -134 (-0.9%) · Kalshi or TOM -136 (-1.3%) · DraftKings Predictions 56¢ on the app (-138 all-in) (-1.5%).
Not Nasty
the Over 50.0 · -110 at TOM
SP+ projects 58 and Massey projects 51. Weather takes 0.7 off. Within 2 of the market; nothing to bet. Where, best first (Over): TOM 50 at -110 (0.3%) · Kalshi 51.5 at 47¢ (0.2%) · DraftKings 50.5 at -105 (0.1%) · DraftKings Predictions 51.5 at 47¢ on the app (+104 all-in) (-0.1%) · Caesars or BetMGM 50.5 at -108 (-0.6%). Either of the first two is fine.
No side

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Liberty to win · -125 at Caesars. A coin flip, the better half of it.

Weather at kickoff: 12 mph wind, 69°F. Total pulled down 0.7 for it.

Across the books: opened -1.5, now +3.0 (the market moved 4.1 toward Liberty).

Kalshi thin: Coastal Carolina Chanticleers +2.5, only $96 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

TOM: spread +2.5 here against +2.8 consensus.

Across the books: opened +1.5, now -0.5. The market has moved 1.9 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.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is the Over 51.5 · -105 at TOM. The totals model is still proving itself.

Weather at kickoff: 5 mph wind, 80°F.

Across the books: opened +12.0, now +7.0 (the market moved 5.2 toward UAB). It crossed 7 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Off the band

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, 65°F, 28% chance of rain. Total pulled down 1.8 for it.

Kalshi thin: Over 54.5, only $391 available; Under 54.5, only $53 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

The ratings sit 10 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.

We make it 39 in 100 to win. The price says 35. That's value. On Kalshi that's 39 cents fair, a play under 34. This is a price bet, not a pick to win: Nevada loses this more often than not.

We make it 32 in 100 to win. The price says 25. That's value. On Kalshi that's 32 cents fair, a play under 27. This is a price bet, not a pick to win: Texas A&M loses this more often than not.

Across the books: opened -5.5, now -9.0. The market has moved 3.3 away from Texas A&M, 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.

Damn Near Nasty. Sacramento State +4.5: FPI is the holdout at Massachusetts by 11.5; the other 3 of 4 our side, 4.2% 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, Charlotte. Market says Louisiana by 10, the Nasty Number says Louisiana by 9.5. At -108 that's too thin to bet. A half point better and it's a play. The total leans Over 48.0 as well.

A Little Nasty, Minnesota. Market says Washington by 10, the Nasty Number says Washington by 9.5. At -116 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 Minnesota +10.0 · -116 at TOM. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 3 mph wind, 56°F.

Across the books: opened -7.5, now -10.0. The market has moved 2.4 away from Minnesota, 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: Minnesota Golden Gophers ML, only $255 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

A Little Nasty, not rated

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is the Under 60.0 · -110 at TOM. The totals model is still proving itself.

Weather at kickoff: 5 mph wind, 62°F.

Moved up since the last run: was Not Nasty, now A Little Nasty · Under. The line went from -1.5 to -1.0.

Across the books: opened +2.5, now -2.0. The market has moved 4.2 toward West Virginia, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking.

TOM: spread -1.0 here against -1.8 consensus.

Buck

A Little Nasty, Under 44, for the weather. 20 mph wind, worth about 3.5 off the total. If the market's total hasn't come down for it by the time you look, the under is the bet. On the side, market says Hawai'i by 3, the Nasty Number says Hawai'i by 4. Nothing there.

Moved up since the last run: was Not Nasty, now A Little Nasty · Under, weather.

Across the books: opened +5.5, now +3.0. The market has moved 2.5 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.

Where, best first (Under): DraftKings or TOM 58.5 at -110 (0.1%) · BetMGM 58.5 at -112 (-0.3%) · Fanatics or Kalshi 58.5 at -115 (-1.0%) · DraftKings Predictions or FanDuel 57.5 at -104 (49¢ on the app) (-1.0%). Either of the first two is fine.
Sources disagree

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Wake Forest +11.5 · +101 (48¢) at Kalshi. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 5 mph wind, 67°F.

Across the books: opened -13.5, now -12.5. The market has moved 1.0 toward Wake Forest, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking.

Kalshi thin: Over 58.5, only $414 available; Wake Forest Demon Deacons ML, only $135 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

TOM: total 58.5 here against 58.1 consensus.

The ratings sit 11 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.

We make it 66 in 100 to win. The price says 69. Nothing there. On Kalshi that's 66 cents fair, a play under 61. Where, best first (James Madison to win): FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM or TOM -225 (-3.4%) · Kalshi 68¢ (-3.8%) · DraftKings Predictions 68¢ on the app (-234 all-in) (-4.3%). Either of the first two is fine.

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

Weather at kickoff: 17 mph wind, 72°F. Total pulled down 2.4 for it.

Across the books: opened +3.0, now +6.0 (the market moved 3.1 toward James Madison). It crossed 3 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

TOM: total 44.5 here against 45.0 consensus.

Damn Near Nasty. Steelers +3.5: all 4 ratings our side, 3.0% after the price; the NFL cap keeps it a watch. That's the Nasty Pick rule with one thing short, the NFL cap: in the NFL the picks come from stale numbers and prices, not power ratings, until the record earns them. Good bet. Not a Nasty Pick.

Across the books: opened +8.5, now +11.5. The market has moved 3.0 away from Dolphins, 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 10 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Kalshi thin: Under 46.5, only $100 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Also out: Jimmy Holiday (WR, Chiefs), Jeff Caldwell (WR, Chiefs), Matt Waletzko (OT, Chiefs) and 3 more.

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: 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.

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

Weather at kickoff: 15 mph wind, 69°F. Total pulled down 1.8 for it.

Across the books: opened +2.5, now +7.0. The market has moved 4.9 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: Seattle Seahawks -7.5, only $171 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

QB questionable: Sam Darnold (Seahawks), Questionable. Check before kickoff.

TOM: spread +7.0 here against +7.2 consensus.

Moved up since the last run: was Not Nasty, now A Little Nasty · Under, weather.

Across the books: opened -5.5, now -3.0 (the market moved 2.7 toward Titans). It crossed 3 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Kalshi thin: Under 40.5, only $167 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

QB out: Jaxson Dart (Giants), Doubtful. Priced at 2.5 points off FPI, Sagarin, Massey; nfelo rebuilt after the news and had it already, so the number here already carries the backup.

Also out: Kendell Brooks (S, Titans), Milo Eifler (LB, Titans).

Tennessee Titans has had 7 days off against 5, worth about 0.1 points.

No side

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

Kalshi thin: Baltimore Ravens -3.5, only $364 available; Over 52.5, only $138 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Also out: Malik Davis (RB, Cowboys), Cobie Durant (CB, Cowboys), T.J. Tampa (CB, Ravens) and 2 more.

Neutral site, so no home field in the number.

Damn Near Nasty. Bears +5.0: all 4 ratings our side, 4.8% after the price; the NFL cap keeps it a watch. That's the Nasty Pick rule with one thing short, the NFL cap: in the NFL the picks come from stale numbers and prices, not power ratings, until the record earns them. Good bet. Not a Nasty Pick.

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.

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 2026-09-23 09:07.

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.

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: 85 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: 28 of 85 moved our way, average +0.2 points, and the full board kept the side 41 times, flipped it 4, went quiet 40. 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.

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.

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.

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. 833573 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.

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.
