Buck's Take

Cleared the bar: 1 game made it this week. It's up top.

Worth a look: 5 totals, 2 over and 3 under, 3 of them in blowout games where the total is mostly garbage time. These meet the Nasty Pick rule on paper: every source on the same side, and at least 1.5 pts of value after the market gets its say.

Why they're not picks yet: It's September and the ratings are mostly last year's teams. A Nasty Pick needs the edge after the price, the ratings in agreement, at least 4 books making the market, and somewhere we can bet it. Candidates have the agreement but not the rest, and the all-sources rule itself is still being graded (0 totals and 0 sides so far). Stale numbers are proven and switch on inside 48 hours.

Moved since the last run: Up: Falcons at Steelers (Held, QB out, was Waiting).

Half Nasty (betting anyway): Buck likes Bowling Green at Nebraska, Under 52 (the models say 44) and UNLV at North Texas, Over 57 (the models say 65).

How Sunday 6 September went

Every game we priced, not just the ones we backed. The row worth watching is the one for games we leaned on but didn't bet: if our opinion covers just as often there, the bar isn't sorting anything.

14 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 SP+, FPI and Sagarin rebuild on this weekend's results. 14 games further out are waiting on those numbers, the first of them thu 10 sep, 7:35 pm. We don't price a game against ratings we know are about to change.

We read 96 games across 12 books, priced every moneyline, spread and total, and cross-checked them against three rating systems. 0 were worth a second look. 1 cleared every check.

Since 3:20 pm

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.

  • → 3.5Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders at Marshall Thundering Herdtoward Middle Tennessee Blue Raidersagainst the public
  • → 2.8Louisiana Tech Bulldogs at LSU Tigerstoward LSU Tigerswith the public
  • → 2.3South Alabama Jaguars at Tulane Green Wavetoward South Alabama Jaguarsagainst the public

  • → 1.5Sacred Heart Pioneers at UMass Minutementoward Sacred Heart Pioneersagainst the public
  • → 1.4UCF Knights at Pittsburgh Pantherstoward UCF Knightsagainst the public

What the results are teaching us

Every game we price gets graded once it finishes, whether or not we backed it. That's about a hundred measurements a Saturday instead of three, so the model can be checked in weeks rather than months. 3 finished so far, and it takes twenty before any of it means anything.

The line archive

Every book's price, saved on every run. 52700 prices banked. Books that move most are usually the ones reacting to money rather than setting the number.

A number moves 0.69 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.
