A ticket written here stays on the board until kickoff and is cashed at the number we posted. Each one says what to do at today's line.

Buck's Take

Four Nasty Picks on the counter for Saturday: UCF +10.5, Texas A&M +3.5, San Diego State +14.5 -105 at FanDuel and UNLV +3 +100 at TOM. The number's wrong and I can show my work. That's what a receipt is.

Colts at Steelers, Colts +3. Every system has a pick'em; the market has Steelers 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.

Broncos at Chargers, Chargers +3.5. Every system has Broncos by 1; the market has Broncos by 3.5. 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 NC State +3.5 (Wake Forest at NC State) at 4.3% after the price. Action, not a receipt. Size it like one. The one moving our way is Central Michigan at Ohio, Ohio to win, 2 points our way since the open.

If you're playing one, it's the receipt: UCF at Oklahoma State, UCF +10.5. Bet it straight. The Receipts do the talking.

Nasty Dogs

No dog worth the price this week.

Damn Near Nasty

3 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.

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: Central Michigan at Ohio, Ohio to win. Best number on the board, half a point better than Pinnacle, and the line has moved 2 points our way since it opened. Still a sneaky. Misses the Cut: needs 4.5% after the price.

Totals That Are Just Flat Nasty

Totals, on their own, ranked by edge. Two numbers read every total: the model (each team's pace, efficiency and scoring this season, the weather and the market, fitted on four seasons) and the pace number (plays times points per play). College posts when the total opens 2 or more off the model with the pace number on the same side, or 3 off either alone; the read is good for about 12 hours, and the market has usually closed most of it by then. The NFL posts when the model sits 4 or more off the market, any day of the week; it is the newest number here with the shortest record. Team totals and first-half totals read the pace number at 3 points scaled to their size. The edge is the backtest's win chance on a gap that size less what the price costs: low single digits at best, and the ranking is the point. Each one is posted at the number shown and graded there, in its own record. Not a Nasty Pick. Size it that way.

Moved closer since the Fri 9 Oct, 6:25pm build

Not picks. The games whose next rung got nearer since the Fri 9 Oct, 6:25pm build, biggest move first, and what moved them. Games that sat flat or walked away aren't listed. A game that gets there posts on the next build, never in between.

Across the books: opened -1.0, now -3.5. The market has moved 2.3 away from Texas A&M, 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.

Nasty Pick. Posted Wednesday at San Diego State +14.5 -105 at FanDuel. Bet it. San Diego State +16 · -105 at Caesars, 1.5 points better than the +14.5 -105 we posted on Wednesday.

Ohio -2.0 · -110 at Fanatics
Covers 55 in 100 by the Nasty Number. Needs 52 to break even. Too thin for the price. Where, best first (Ohio): DraftKings -2.5 at -102 (3.7%) · Kalshi -1.5 at 51¢ (3.6%) · Fanatics or TOM -2 at -110 (3.0%) · Caesars -2.5 at -109 (2.0%) · FanDuel -2.5 at -110 (1.8%). Either of the first two is fine.
Not Nasty
Ohio to win · -126 (54¢) at Kalshi
We make it 59 in 100 to win. The price says 56. That's value. On Kalshi that's 59 cents fair, a play under 54.

No total

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Ohio to win · -126 (54¢) at Kalshi. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 7 mph wind, 71°F.

Across the books: opened -3.5, now -2.5. The market has moved 1.1 away from Ohio, 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: Under 46.5, only $468 available; Ohio Bobcats -1.5, only $116 available; Over 45.5, only $243 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

TOM: spread -2.0 here against -2.4 consensus.

Weather at kickoff: 15 mph wind, 72°F, 52% chance of rain. Total pulled down 2.8 for it.

Across the books: opened -9.5, now -10.0. The market has moved 0.6 toward East Carolina, 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.

Kalshi thin: Over 45.5, only $108 available; Under 45.5, only $103 available; Rice Owls ML, only $312 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Bowling Green to win · -290 (73¢) at Kalshi. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 10 mph wind, 72°F.

Across the books: opened -7.0, now -9.0 (the market moved 1.7 toward Bowling Green).

Kalshi thin: Over 43.5, only $8 available; Bowling Green Falcons ML, only $99 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

TOM: total 44.0 here against 43.4 consensus.

Weather at kickoff: 9 mph wind, 73°F.

Across the books: opened +3.5, now +5.5. The market has moved 2.0 away from Akron, 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: Akron Zips +5.5, only $50 available; Over 51.5, only $134 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

No total

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, 87°F. Total pulled down 1.8 for it.

Across the books: opened -2.0, now -2.5. The market has moved 0.5 away from Houston, 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: Houston Cougars +2.5, only $31 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

TOM: total 55.0 here against 55.3 consensus.

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, 84°F, 38% chance of rain.

Across the books: opened -19.0, now -21.0 (the market moved 1.8 toward Arizona State).

Kalshi thin: Arizona State Sun Devils -21.5, only $108 available; Over 51.5, only $26 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Line move: spread has moved 1.8 toward Arizona State Sun Devils since 10-04 06:30; total has moved down 1.7.

TOM: spread -20.5 here against -20.9 consensus; total 51.5 here against 50.8 consensus.

The line is -20.5. Rating differences overshoot on games this lopsided, so whatever gap shows up is arithmetic rather than insight.

SP+ hasn't rebuilt since Hawai'i and Arizona State played, so it sat out past Tuesday 9am and the Sauce here is FPI, Sagarin and Massey.

Only one model disagrees with the market on the side. A lone dissenter is usually the one at fault.

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.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is 49ers +3.0 · +105 at TOM. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 9 mph wind, 58°F.

Kalshi thin: Seattle Seahawks -3.5, only $127 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Also out: Zach Charbonnet (RB, Seahawks), Irv Charles (WR, Seahawks), Julian Neal (CB, Seahawks) and 5 more.

TOM: spread -3.0 here against -3.4 consensus.

DraftKings still has Seahawks -3.0 while Pinnacle is at Seahawks by 3.5. Far enough off to be a pick, but 2.3% edge at the price, under the 3% bar.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Giants +4.0 · -116 at TOM. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 15 mph wind, 67°F, 92% chance of rain. Total pulled down 2.8 for it.

Across the books: opened -2.5, now -3.5. The market has moved 1.0 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. It crossed 3 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Kalshi thin: Under 41.5, only $24 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: Braxton Berrios (WR, Giants), Trey Amos (CB, Commanders), Tyler Owens (S, Commanders) and 6 more.

TOM: spread -4.0 here against -3.6 consensus.

Bengals -7.0 · +100 at TOM
Covers 53 in 100 by the Nasty Number. Needs 50 to break even. Too thin for the price. Where, best first (Bengals): TOM -7 at +100 (2.6%) · Caesars -7 at -104 (1.6%) · FanDuel -7 at -105 (1.4%) · DraftKings or BetMGM -7 at -108 (0.7%) · Fanatics -7 at -110 (0.2%).

We make it 76 in 100 to win. The price says 77. Nothing there. On Kalshi that's 76 cents fair, a play under 72. Where, best first (Bengals to win): FanDuel -320 (-0.3%) · BetMGM -325 (-0.6%) · TOM -330 (-0.9%) · Caesars -335 (-1.1%) · Fanatics or Kalshi -340 (-1.4%). 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: 8 mph wind, 90°F.

Across the books: opened +9.0, now +7.0. The market has moved 2.4 away from Bengals, 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: Miami Dolphins +6.5, only $29 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Also out: Caleb Douglas (WR, Dolphins), Justin Joly (TE, Dolphins), Storm Duck (CB, Dolphins) and 2 more.

TOM: total 44.0 here against 43.5 consensus.

TOM: moneyline +266 here against +307 consensus.

Hard Rock Bet still has Dolphins +7.5 while Pinnacle is at Bengals by 6.5. Far enough off to be a pick, but not a book we can bet.

Bills +3.0 · -102 at TOM
Covers 51 in 100 by the Nasty Number. Needs 50 to break even. Too thin for the price. Where, best first (Bills): Caesars or FanDuel +3.5 at -118 (1.4%) · DraftKings +3 at +100 (1.4%) · Fanatics +3.5 at -120 (1.0%) · TOM +3 at -102 (0.9%) · Kalshi +3.5 at 53¢ (0.8%). Either of the first two is fine.

No total

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Bills +3.0 · -102 at TOM. A coin flip, the better half of it.

Across the books: opened -2.5, now -3.0. The market has moved 0.6 away from Bills, 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: Over 54.5, only $17 available; Under 54.5, only $77 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.

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.

Under the hood

30 graded bets. Enough to start reading, not enough to be sure of.

Closing line value
+0.01Sides: pts vs close, 34 bets, beat it 53%

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.

60 priced · 4 Nasty Picks · 5 a little nasty · 3 damn near nasty · ratings rebuild before Tue · audit clean

Not every source loaded: SP+ hasn't changed in 13 days, so it may be stale at the source. Anything that depends on those is missing from the board rather than guessed at. 17 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. 17 games further out are waiting on those numbers, the first of them Tue 13 Oct, 6:00pm. We don't price a game against ratings we know are about to change.

We read 77 games across 21 books, priced every moneyline, spread and total, and cross-checked them against the Four. 2 were worth a second look. 4 cleared every check.

  • MovedTexas A&M Aggies at Missouri Tigers price moved from -103 to -110.

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.

10.78The market on its own
257Games graded

Fitted straight from the finals, the weight is 6%, give or take 19% (one standard error, 257 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 1.33 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.

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.
