Buck's Take

7 Nasty Picks and One Nasty Dog on the counter this week: San Diego State +9.5, Louisiana -6, South Florida -5.5 -110 at Caesars, UCF +11.5 -107 at Kalshi, Ohio -3 -110 at TOM, Pittsburgh +3.5 -107 at Kalshi, Cincinnati +7 -102 at DraftKings and Commanders to win +184 at FanDuel. Straight bets. Don't make it a parlay.

Eastern Michigan at Massachusetts, Massachusetts -5.5. Every system has Massachusetts by 12.5; the market has Massachusetts by 5.5. The number at the book misses the Cut. It's a Nasty Pick at -5.5.

Cardinals at Giants, Giants +2.5. Every system has Giants by 2; the market has Cardinals by 2.5. 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 45.5 (Navy at Air Force) at 7.1% after the price. For the couch, not the mortgage. The one moving our way is Bowling Green at Miami (OH), Miami (OH) -12, 2.5 points our way since the open.

If you're playing one, it's the receipt: Texas State at San Diego State, San Diego State +9.5. Bet it straight. The Receipts do the talking.

Nasty Dogs

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

Colts at CommandersCommanders to win +184 at FanDuelNasty Dog · called Fri 9:06amDon't chaseSun 8:30am Buck's case ›Don't bet this at today's number. We posted Commanders to win +184 at FanDuel on Friday; now Commanders to win · +188 at FanDuel. The number hasn't moved but the price is 4 cents better, from +184 to +188, and at +188 the edge is 1.0%, under the 2.5% a posted pick has to keep. If you already have it, you're set. It's a play again at +184 or better.

Damn Near Nasty

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: Bowling Green at Miami (OH), Miami (OH) -12. Best number on the board, 1 point better than Pinnacle, and the line has moved 2.5 points our way since it opened. Still a sneaky. Misses the Cut: needs 4% after the price.

Nasty Pick. Posted Monday at Pittsburgh +3.5 -107 at Kalshi. Don't bet this at today's number. We posted Pittsburgh +3.5 -107 at Kalshi on Monday; now Pittsburgh +2.5 · -108 at BetMGM. The number is a point worse and the price is 1 cent worse, from -107 to -108, and that's a different bet from the one we posted, pushes counted. If you already have it at +3.5, you're set. It's a play again at +3.5 -107 or better. Market says Virginia Tech by 2.5, the Nasty Number says Virginia Tech by 1.5.

A Little Nasty, not rated

Weather at kickoff: 5 mph wind, 75°F.

Across the books: opened -6.0, now -2.5. The market has moved 3.9 toward Pittsburgh, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking. It crossed 3 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Kalshi thin: Under 51.5, only $12 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

We make it 33 in 100 to win. The price says 26. That's value. On Kalshi that's 33 cents fair, a play under 28. This is a price bet, not a pick to win: San Diego 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. Where, best first (San Diego State to win): Kalshi 25¢ (6.4%) · DraftKings Predictions 25¢ on the app (+270 all-in) (5.7%) · Fanatics, DraftKings or BetMGM +260 (5.0%) · FanDuel or Caesars +250 (4.2%) · TOM +235 (2.9%).

Weather at kickoff: 5 mph wind, 78°F, 68% chance of rain. Total pulled down 1 for it.

Kalshi thin: Under 48.5, only $364 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

TOM: spread -6.0 here against -6.3 consensus.

Buck

Nasty Pick. Posted Monday at Cincinnati +7 -102 at DraftKings. Don't bet this at today's number. We posted Cincinnati +7 -102 at DraftKings on Monday; now Cincinnati +6.5 · -102 at TOM. The number is half a point worse, and that's a different bet from the one we posted, pushes counted. If you already have it at +7, you're set. It's a play again at +7 -102 or better. Market says Arizona by 6.5, the Nasty Number says Arizona by 6.

No side

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Miami (OH) -12.0 · -108 at BetMGM. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 9 mph wind, 67°F.

Across the books: opened -14.5, now -12.5. The market has moved 2.0 away from Miami (OH), 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 14 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Kalshi thin: Bowling Green Falcons +11.5, only $465 available; Under 42.5, only $499 available; Bowling Green Falcons ML, only $15 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

TOM: spread -11.5 here against -12.5 consensus.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Illinois -10.5 · +101 (48¢) at Kalshi. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 6 mph wind, 70°F.

Across the books: opened -9.5, now -10.0. The market has moved 0.6 toward Illinois, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking. It crossed 10 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

TOM: spread -10.5 here against -10.1 consensus.

Where, best first (Louisville to win): FanDuel -156 (0.1%) · Caesars or BetMGM -164 (-1.0%) · DraftKings or Kalshi -166 (-1.3%) · DraftKings Predictions or Fanatics -170 (61¢ on the app) (-1.9%).

A Little Nasty, not rated

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is the Over 58.5 · -110. The totals model is still proving itself.

Weather at kickoff: 8 mph wind, 77°F, 31% chance of rain.

Across the books: opened +7.5, now +3.0. The market has moved 4.3 away from Louisville, 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.

Kalshi thin: Under 58.5, only $364 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Across the books: opened -6.0, now -2.5. The market has moved 3.5 toward Kentucky, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking. It crossed 3 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Kalshi thin: Under 54.5, only $364 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Across the books: opened +0.5, now -3.0 (the market moved 3.6 toward Iowa State). It crossed 3 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Kalshi thin: Under 53.5, only $1 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

LowVig.ag still has Miami -14.5 while Pinnacle is at Miami by 16.5. Far enough off to be a pick, but not a book we can bet.

Also out: Rachaad White (RB, Commanders), Alec Pierce (WR, Colts), Carson Towt (TE, Colts) and 3 more.

Neutral site, so no home field in the number.

TOM: moneyline +173 here against +192 consensus.

Buck

Damn Near Nasty. Giants +2.5: 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. Size it that way.

No side

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Giants +2.5 · +100 at Fanatics. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 9 mph wind, 66°F.

Across the books: opened -2.5, now +2.5. The market has moved 4.9 away from Giants, 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 44.5, only $10 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Backup QB out: Jaxson Dart (Giants), Injured Reserve. Not the starter, so no hold.

Also out: Will Johnson (CB, Cardinals).

TOM: total 44.0 here against 44.4 consensus.

No side

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Panthers +3.5 · -104 at FanDuel. A coin flip, the better half of it.

Weather at kickoff: 2 mph wind, 68°F, 65% chance of rain. Total pulled down 1 for it.

Across the books: opened +2.5, now +3.5. The market has moved 0.9 away from Panthers, 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: Carolina Panthers +3.5, only $62 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Also out: Xavier Legette (WR, Panthers), Cade Mays (C, Lions), Brian Branch (S, Lions) and 1 more.

TOM: total 51.0 here against 51.3 consensus.

TOM: moneyline +167 here against +183 consensus.

QB out: Caleb Williams (Bears), Out. 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: Breece Hall (RB, Jets), Adonai Mitchell (WR, Jets), Mason Taylor (TE, Jets) and 6 more.

New York Jets has had 7 days off against 5, worth about 0.1 points.

A Little Nasty, not rated

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is the Under 48.0 · -115 at TOM. The totals model is still proving itself.

Across the books: opened -3.0, now -2.0 (the market moved 0.8 toward Falcons).

Kalshi thin: Atlanta Falcons ML, only $45 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Also out: Cameron Williams (OL, Falcons), A.J. Terrell Jr. (CB, Falcons), Da'Shawn Hand (DT, Falcons).

TOM: spread -1.0 here against -2.1 consensus.

A winning ticket

The Receipts

The cage. Every ticket the board wrote, cashed or not, graded at the number on it. No edits, no deletions, no "we had that one."

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.

Closing line value: +0.3 pts vs close on average, beat the close on 6 of 10. Positive means the number we posted was better than where the market ended up.

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 0.76 points better than the close on average over 44 games.

The head start. 112 Sniffs of Nasty have landed on a rung: the market moved toward the Sunday number 45 times, against it 26, average 0.40 points; the full board kept the side 51 times, flipped 4, went quiet 57.

What a bigger change would have done. Each recorded game day replayed with a candidate setting and scored against the finals (2026-09-21, 2026-09-22, 2026-09-23, 2026-09-25, 2026-09-26, 2026-09-27, 2026-09-28, 2026-09-28).

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
+0.26Sides: pts vs close, 26 bets, beat it 69%

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: 112 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: 45 of 112 moved our way, average +0.4 points, and the full board kept the side 51 times, flipped it 4, went quiet 57. 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.

72 priced · 7 Nasty Picks · 18 a little nasty · 3 damn near nasty · ratings rebuild before Tue · audit clean

12 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. 12 games further out are waiting on those numbers, the first of them Tue 6 Oct, 7:00pm. We don't price a game against ratings we know are about to change.

We read 84 games across 22 books, priced every moneyline, spread and total, and cross-checked them against the Four. 4 were worth a second look. 7 cleared every check.

Since 4:15pm

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.

What the results are teaching us

Graded from every game we priced, not just the ones we backed.

0%Best weight on our ratings
10.36Points off per game at that weight
10.36The market on its own
173Games graded

Fitted straight from the finals, the weight is 2%, give or take 21% (one standard error, 173 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. 867439 prices banked. Books that move most are usually the ones reacting to money rather than setting the number.

A number moves 1.21 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.
