Buck's Take

6 Nasty Picks on the counter this week: UCF +11, Iowa +3.5, New Mexico State +7, San Diego State +14.5, Texas A&M +3.5 and UNLV +3 +100 at TOM. The number's wrong and I can show my work. That's what a receipt is.

South Carolina at Florida, South Carolina +13.5. Every system has Florida by 8; the market has Florida by 12.5. The number at the book misses the Cut. It's a Nasty Pick at +14.5.

Texans at Titans, Titans +7.5. Every system has Texans by 4; the market has Texans by 7.5. 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 Over 50 (South Florida at UTSA) at 5.4% after the price. Action, not a receipt. Size it like one. The one moving our way is South Florida at UTSA, Over 50, down 2 since the open.

Since the last build, Texas A&M at Missouri slipped to A Little Nasty; Wake Forest at NC State slipped to A Little Nasty; UAB at Memphis climbed to Damn Near Nasty.

If you're playing one, it's the receipt: UCF at Oklahoma State, UCF +11. 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: South Florida at UTSA, Over 50. Best number on the board, half a point better than Pinnacle, and the total has come down 2 points since it opened. A total, so it stays a sneaky.

Moved up since the last run: was Not Nasty, now A Little Nasty · New Mexico State.

Across the books: opened -4.5, now -6.5. The market has moved 2.0 away from New Mexico State, 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.

Kalshi thin: Over 45.5, only $211 available; New Mexico State Aggies ML, only $101 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

TOM: total 46.5 here against 45.5 consensus.

Kennesaw State +3.0 · -110 at BetMGM
Covers 54 in 100 by the Nasty Number. Needs 52 to break even. Too thin for the price. Where, best first (Kennesaw State): BetMGM +3 at -110 (1.2%) · Kalshi +2.5 at 47¢ (1.1%) · DraftKings or Caesars +3 at -112 (0.7%) · FanDuel +2.5 at +102 (0.3%) · Fanatics or TOM +3 at -115 (0.1%).

A Little Nasty, Over 50.0. SP+ and Massey say over by 9.7 points, which is a little nasty, not a bet: the totals model is still proving itself. The side leans South Florida too: market says UTSA by 7, the Nasty Number says UTSA by 6, but at -108 that's too thin.

Weather at kickoff: 7 mph wind, 58°F, 41% chance of rain.

Across the books: opened -1.0, now -3.5. The market has moved 2.4 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: Over 41.5, only $319 available; Under 41.5, only $2 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Across the books: opened -9.5, now -10.5. The market has moved 1.1 away from UCF, 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 10 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Kalshi thin: Over 52.5, only $32 available; Oklahoma State Cowboys ML, only $33 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Memphis -13.5 · -115 at Fanatics
Covers 56 in 100 by the Nasty Number. Needs 53 to break even. Too thin for the price. Where, best first (Memphis): Fanatics -13.5 at -115 (2.0%) · DraftKings or BetMGM -14 at -108 (1.7%) · FanDuel -14.5 at +100 (1.5%) · TOM -14 at -112 (0.8%) · Kalshi -14.5 at 49¢ (0.7%). Either of the first two is fine.

No side

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Memphis -13.5 · -115 at Fanatics. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 15 mph wind, 70°F, 70% chance of rain. Total pulled down 2.8 for it.

Moved up since the last run: was A Little Nasty · Under, weather, now Damn Near Nasty.

A play at -12.5 or better.

Kalshi thin: UAB Blazers +14.5, only $266 available; Under 53.5, only $15 available; Over 53.5, only $156 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

TOM: total 56.5 here against 53.6 consensus.

Moved down since the last run: was Damn Near Nasty, now A Little Nasty · NC State.

Across the books: opened +2.0, now +3.5. The market has moved 1.3 away from NC State, 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: NC State Wolfpack +3.5, only $24 available; Under 59.5, only $4 available; Wake Forest Demon Deacons -3.5, only $6 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is James Madison -7.5 · -102 at DraftKings. A coin flip, the better half of it.

Weather at kickoff: 16 mph wind, 73°F, 84% chance of rain. Total pulled down 3.1 for it.

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

Across the books: opened +9.5, now +7.5. The market has moved 2.0 away from James Madison, 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.

Kalshi thin: Under 53.5, only $1 available; Georgia Southern Eagles ML, only $52 available; Over 51.5, only $319 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Kalshi thin: Temple Owls -3.5, only $6 available; UConn Huskies +3.5, only $17 available; Under 54.5, only $43 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

TOM: spread -3.5 here against -3.9 consensus.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is the Under 56.5 · -110 at TOM (21h ago). The totals model is still proving itself.

Weather at kickoff: 8 mph wind, 80°F.

Across the books: opened -35.5, now -34.5 (the market moved 1.1 toward Maryland).

Kalshi thin: Ohio State Buckeyes ML, only $8 available; Maryland Terrapins ML, only $22 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Damn Near Nasty. Chargers +3.5: all 4 ratings our side, 3.3% 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.

A Little Nasty
Chargers to win · +154 at DraftKings
We make it 42 in 100 to win. The price says 39. Not enough. On Kalshi that's 42 cents fair, a play under 37. Where, best first (Chargers to win): DraftKings +154 (2.2%) · Caesars +152 (1.9%) · Fanatics +150 (1.6%) · FanDuel or TOM +148 (1.3%) · BetMGM +145 (0.8%). Either of the first two is fine.

No side

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Chargers +3.5 · -110 at DraftKings. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

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 $164 available; Over 42.5, only $243 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Also out: Jonah Coleman (RB, Broncos), Pat Bryant (WR, Broncos), Branson Taylor (G, Chargers) and 1 more.

TOM: total 42.0 here against 42.4 consensus.

A Little Nasty
Ravens to win · +155 at BetMGM
We make it 45 in 100 to win. The price says 39. That's value. On Kalshi that's 45 cents fair, a play under 40. This is a price bet, not a pick to win: Ravens 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 (Ravens to win): BetMGM, Fanatics or Caesars +155 (5.3%) · FanDuel +152 (4.9%) · DraftKings +150 (4.6%) · Kalshi or TOM +146 (3.8%). 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 +6.5, now -3.5. The market has moved 9.8 away from Ravens, 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 43.5, only $301 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

QB questionable: Lamar Jackson (Ravens), Questionable. Check before kickoff.

Also out: Durham Smythe (TE, Ravens), Cameron Williams (OL, Falcons), A.J. Terrell Jr. (CB, Falcons) and 1 more.

TOM: total 43.5 here against 43.8 consensus.

Not Nasty. Market says Jaguars by 7.5, the Nasty Number says Jaguars by 6.5, but the market has moved 4.8 points away from Eagles since it opened. A move that size against the ratings usually means news the Four don't have. This isn't a bet.

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.

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.

Closing line value
-0.06Sides: pts vs close, 32 bets, beat it 47%

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.

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.

72 priced · 6 Nasty Picks · 14 a little nasty · 4 damn near nasty · audit clean

Not every source loaded: SP+ hasn't changed in 10 days, so it may be stale at the source; TOM's page was saved 21 hours ago, so its prices may have moved. Check anything it's the best number on.. Anything that depends on those is missing from the board rather than guessed at.

We read 72 games across 22 books, priced every moneyline, spread and total, and cross-checked them against the Four. 0 were worth a second look. 6 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
10.75Points off per game at that weight
10.75The market on its own
245Games graded

Fitted straight from the finals, the weight is 3%, give or take 19% (one standard error, 245 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. 907284 prices banked. Books that move most are usually the ones reacting to money rather than setting the number.

A number moves 1.29 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.

  • SP+ unchanged for 9 days

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.
