Buck's Take

Nothing's nasty enough Sunday. Nasty is a standard, not a mood.

A little nasty, if you want action: 5 sneakies; the strongest is Texas A&M +9.5 (Texas A&M at LSU) at 6.6% after the price. For the couch, not the mortgage. The one moving our way is Army at Temple, Over 48, down 2 since the open.

If you're playing one, keep it a sneaky: Texas A&M at LSU, Texas A&M +9.5. Bet it straight. The Receipts do the talking.

Buck

Nasty Picks

Nothing's made the Cut yet. Stale numbers switch on inside 48 hours of kickoff.

Nasty Dogs

No dog worth the price this week.

Damn Near Nasty

Nothing close. The books have this slate right, and Buck says so.

A Little Nasty

No sneakies today. The market has this slate.

Sniff of Nasty · Saturday's preview, 27 games from the systems that have rebuilt. Never a pick, never recorded. Strongest: Texas A&M +9.5, UConn +5, Charlotte +10.5. Open

Sniff of Nasty

College: FPI and Massey and Sagarin have seen the last games, SP+ hasn't. A preview, not a rung: built on the systems that have rebuilt, before the last one has. Nothing here is a pick and nothing here goes in the Receipts. Each game gets its real rung when every system has updated, usually Tuesday morning for college. Strongest first: the tag on each row is what the fresh systems would call it. If you like a number now, this is your head start.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is the Over 48.0 · -110 at TOM. The totals model is still proving itself.

Kalshi thin: Over 49.5, only $51 available; Under 49.5, only $208 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Texas A&M +9.5 · -105 at TOM. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 5 mph wind, 88°F.

Across the books: opened -5.5, now -10.0. The market has moved 4.4 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.

Kalshi thin: Under 52.5, only $52 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

We make it 43 in 100 to win. The price says 38. That's value. On Kalshi that's 43 cents fair, a play under 39. This is a price bet, not a pick to win: UConn loses this more often than not.

All 3 systems lean UCF. The Nasty Number is 0.5 points off the book; it takes 3% edge after the price for a pick with the full blend, more with fewer systems, and this one is under it. SP+ hasn't seen the last games yet, so this could change.

No side

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is UCF +3.5 · -115 at FanDuel. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 15 mph wind, 83°F, 34% chance of rain. Total pulled down 1.8 for it.

Across the books: opened +2.0, now +3.0. The market has moved 1.3 away from UCF, 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: UCF Knights +3.5, only $59 available; Over 49.5, only $459 available; Under 49.5, only $459 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

A Little Nasty, Middle Tennessee. Market says Jacksonville State by 8.5, the Nasty Number says Jacksonville State by 8.5. At -110 that's too thin to bet. A half point better and it's a play.

Weather at kickoff: 5 mph wind, 83°F.

Across the books: opened -8.5, now -9.5. The market has moved 1.0 away from Vanderbilt, 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 54.5, only $312 available; Vanderbilt Commodores ML, only $345 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

A Little Nasty, Over 48.5. SP+ and Massey say over by 3.3 points, which is a little nasty, not a bet: the totals model is still proving itself. On the side, market says Nebraska by 5.5, the Nasty Number says Nebraska by 5.5. Nothing there.

2 of 3 systems lean Michigan State. FPI at Nebraska by 7.5 is the holdout, and one system across the market is why this is a lean, not a pick. SP+ hasn't seen the last games yet, so this could change.

Across the books: opened +5.5, now +3.0 (the market moved 2.4 toward Wyoming).

Kalshi thin: Wyoming Cowboys +3.5, only $110 available; Hawaii Rainbow Warriors -3.5, only $94 available; Over 45.5, only $53 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

TOM: total 46.5 here against 45.8 consensus.

Kalshi thin: Minnesota Golden Gophers +7.5, only $148 available; Over 44.5, only $477 available; Under 44.5, only $416 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

2 of 3 systems lean Boston College. FPI at Virginia Tech by 15 is the holdout, and one system across the market is why there's no bet here. SP+ hasn't seen the last games yet, so this could change.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Boston College +14.5 · -107 at Caesars. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 15 mph wind, 62°F, 39% chance of rain. Total pulled down 1.8 for it.

Across the books: opened +15.0, now +14.0. The market has moved 1.3 toward Boston College, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking. It crossed 14 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Kalshi thin: Over 51.5, only $35 available; Under 51.5, only $364 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Weather at kickoff: 13 mph wind, 70°F. Total pulled down 1 for it.

Across the books: opened +3.0, now +5.0 (the market moved 2.2 toward James Madison). It crossed 3 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Kalshi thin: Old Dominion Monarchs +4.5, only $85 available; Over 46.5, only $55 available; Under 46.5, only $50 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

TOM: spread +4.5 here against +5.0 consensus.

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

Across the books: opened +2.5, now +6.5 (the market moved 4.1 toward Seahawks). It crossed 3 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Kalshi thin: Washington Commanders +6.5, only $269 available; Seattle Seahawks -6.5, only $43 available; Over 40.5, only $102 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Backup QB out: Athan Kaliakmanis (Commanders), Out. Not the starter, so no hold.

QB out: Jayden Daniels (Commanders), Out. Priced at 2.5 points off the Four, so the number here already carries the backup.

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

Also out: Luke McCaffrey (WR, Commanders), Tanoa Togiai (G, Commanders), Isaac Yiadom (CB, Commanders) and 3 more.

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.

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.

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: 20 of 57 moved our way, average +0.3 points, and the full board kept the side 31 times, flipped it 4, went quiet 22.

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.

59 priced · 27 a little nasty · ratings rebuild before Thu · audit clean

16 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

Tomorrow, once the ratings rebuild on this weekend's results. 16 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 75 games across 22 books, priced every moneyline, spread and total, and cross-checked them against the Four. 3 were worth a second look. nothing made the Cut, which happens.

Since 10:56pm

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
9.69Points off per game at that weight
9.69The market on its own
85Games graded

Fitted straight from the finals, the weight is 24%, give or take 25% (one standard error, 85 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.

A number moves 1.20 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.
