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

1 game 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.

Buck's Take

Nothing makes the Cut Saturday, but one comes damn near. Same opinion as a Nasty Pick, one thing short.

Eagles at Titans, Titans +7.5. Every system has Eagles by 5.5; the market has Eagles 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: 1 sneaky; the strongest is Jaguars +3 (Jaguars at Broncos) at 1.3% after the price. Action, not a receipt. Size it like one.

If you're playing one, it's Eagles at Titans, Titans +7.5. The ratings make it Eagles by 5.5. The number's wrong and the Four agree. That's the receipt.

Damn Near NastyBuck's case ›

Damn Near Nasty. Titans +7.5: all 4 ratings our side, 3.5% 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.

Titans +7.5 · -115 at TOM

Covers 57 in 100 by the Nasty Number. Needs 53 to break even. Worth a look. Where, best first (Titans): BetMGM +7 at -102 (4.1%) · TOM +7.5 at -115 (3.5%) · DraftKings +7 at -105 (3.3%) · Caesars +7 at -109 (2.4%) · FanDuel or Fanatics +7 at -110 (2.2%).

A Little Nasty

Titans to win · +280 (25¢) at Kalshi

We make it 30 in 100 to win. The price says 26. That's value. On Kalshi that's 30 cents fair, a play under 25. This is a price bet, not a pick to win: Titans 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 (Titans to win): Kalshi or FanDuel +280 (3.6%) · BetMGM +275 (3.2%) · Caesars +270 (2.9%) · Fanatics or TOM +265 (2.5%) · DraftKings +260 (2.1%). Either of the first two is fine.

Same opinion, more variance

the Over 39.0 · -110 at TOM

Massey projects 44 and FPI projects 41. Within 2 of the market; nothing to bet. Where, best first (Over): TOM 39 at -110 (1.9%) · BetMGM 39.5 at -108 (0.7%) · Caesars 39.5 at -109 (0.5%) · DraftKings, FanDuel or Fanatics 39.5 at -110 (0.2%) · Kalshi 39.5 at 51¢ (-0.1%).

No side

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Titans +7.5 · -115 at TOM. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 5 mph wind, 96°F.

Across the books: opened +5.5, now +7.5. The market has moved 1.8 away from Titans, 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.

Also out: Eli Stowers (TE, Eagles), Landon Dickerson (G, Eagles), Kendell Brooks (S, Titans) and 3 more.

TOM: total 39.0 here against 39.7 consensus.

TOM: moneyline +277 here against +313 consensus.

Bears -4.5 · -110 at FanDuel

Covers 51 in 100 by the Nasty Number. Needs 52 to break even. Not enough. Where, best first (Bears): Kalshi -4.5 at 50¢ (-1.0%) · Caesars -4.5 at -109 (-1.4%) · FanDuel, BetMGM, Fanatics or TOM -4.5 at -110 (-1.6%) · DraftKings -4.5 at -118 (-3.3%). Either of the first two is fine.

Not Nasty

Bears to win · -215 at TOM

We make it 67 in 100 to win. The price says 68. Nothing there. On Kalshi that's 67 cents fair, a play under 62. Where, best first (Bears to win): Kalshi 66¢ (-0.9%) · TOM -215 (-1.6%) · DraftKings, Caesars, FanDuel, BetMGM or Fanatics -218 (-1.9%).

Not Nasty

the Under 47.5 · -110 at TOM

Massey projects 51 and FPI projects 42. Weather takes 4.5 off. The two sources disagree by 9 points, so one of them is wrong here. Where, best first (Under): DraftKings or FanDuel 47.5 at -102 (3.1%) · Fanatics 48 at -110 (2.9%) · Kalshi 47.5 at 49¢ (2.8%) · BetMGM 48 at -112 (2.4%) · Caesars 47.5 at -105 (2.4%). Either of the first two is fine.

Sources disagree

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

Weather at kickoff: 20 mph wind, 66°F, 71% chance of rain. Total pulled down 4.5 for it.

Across the books: opened -6.0, now -4.5 (the market moved 1.3 toward Vikings).

QB out: Kyler Murray (Vikings), Out. Priced at 2.5 points off nfelo, FPI, Sagarin, Massey, so the number here already carries the backup.

Browns +9.0 · -110 at BetMGM

Covers 55 in 100 by the Nasty Number. Needs 52 to break even. Too thin for the price. Where, best first (Browns): BetMGM +9 at -110 (2.7%) · Caesars +8.5 at -109 (2.3%) · DraftKings +8.5 at -112 (1.6%) · TOM +9 at -118 (0.9%) · Fanatics +8 at -110 (0.7%). Either of the first two is fine.

Weather at kickoff: 5 mph wind, 87°F.

Across the books: opened -8.0, now -8.5. The market has moved 0.6 away from Browns, so the number is better than it was, but a move against the ratings usually means news. Check the injury note before taking it.

Raiders +6.5 · -105 at FanDuel

Covers 53 in 100 by the Nasty Number. Needs 51 to break even. Too thin for the price. Where, best first (Raiders): DraftKings +6.5 at -102 (2.8%) · FanDuel, BetMGM, Fanatics or TOM +6.5 at -105 (2.1%) · Caesars +6.5 at -108 (1.4%).

Not Nasty

Raiders to win · +237 at TOM

We make it 31 in 100 to win. The price says 30. Not enough. On Kalshi that's 31 cents fair, a play under 27. Where, best first (Raiders to win): DraftKings, Caesars or FanDuel +245 (2.3%) · BetMGM or Fanatics +240 (1.9%) · TOM +237 (1.6%). Either of the first two is fine.

Not Nasty

the Under 43.5 · -112 at TOM

Massey projects 39 and FPI projects 40. Within 2 of the market; nothing to bet. Where, best first (Under): Caesars 43.5 at -107 (1.1%) · DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM or Fanatics 43.5 at -110 (0.4%) · TOM 43.5 at -112 (-0.0%).

No side

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Raiders +6.5 · -105 at FanDuel. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Across the books: opened -9.5, now -6.5. The market has moved 2.8 toward Raiders, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking. It crossed 7 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Backup QB out: Aidan O'Connell (Raiders), Out. Not the starter, so no hold.

Also out: KeAndre Lambert-Smith (WR, Chargers), Dont'e Thornton Jr. (WR, Raiders), Brock Bowers (TE, Raiders) and 4 more.

TOM: total 43.5 here against 43.2 consensus.

Sources disagree

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

Across the books: opened -1.5, now +2.5 (the market moved 4.1 toward Panthers).

Backup QB out: Tua Tagovailoa (Falcons), Doubtful. Not the starter, so no hold.

QB out: Michael Penix Jr. (Falcons), Out. Priced at 2.5 points off nfelo, FPI, Sagarin, Massey, so the number here already carries the backup.

A Little Nasty, not rated

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is the Under 63.5 · -110. The totals model is still proving itself.

Kalshi thin: USC Trojans +1.5, only $41 available; Over 63.5, only $159 available; Under 63.5, only $212 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.

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.

The head start: 39 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: 7 of 39 moved our way, average -0.0 points, and the full board kept the side 31 times, flipped it 4, went quiet 4. 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.

21 priced · 2 a little nasty · 1 damn near nasty · ratings rebuild before Thu · audit clean

13 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. 19 games already kicked off and are left off the board. Once a game starts the feed gives live in-play prices, which a pregame rating can't be compared against.

Next picks

Monday, once the ratings rebuild on this weekend's results. 13 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 34 games across 22 books, priced every moneyline, spread and total, and cross-checked them against the Four. 0 were worth a second look. nothing made the Cut, which happens.

Since 10:00pm

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

9.80Points off per game at that weight

9.80The market on its own

53Games graded

Fitted straight from the finals, the weight is 26%, give or take 31% (one standard error, 53 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.

2026-09-19	College	30% → 27%	the fit on 111 games puts the weight at -29% (±14%), two errors from 30%

The line archive

Every book's price, saved on every run. 815477 prices banked. Books that move most are usually the ones reacting to money rather than setting the number.

A number moves 1.25 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.
