Nasty Picks
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
Three Nasty Picks on the counter for Saturday: Texas A&M +9, Nevada +5 and Colorado State +13. The number's wrong and I can show my work. That's what a receipt is.
Massachusetts at Sacramento State, Sacramento State +5. Every system has Sacramento State by 1; the market has Massachusetts by 5. The number at the book misses the Cut. It's a Nasty Pick at +5.
Clemson at California, Clemson PK. Every system has Clemson by 5; the market has it a pick'em. The number at the book misses the Cut. It's a Nasty Pick at +1.
A little nasty, if you want action: 5 sneakies; the strongest is Tulsa +7 (Tulsa at Arkansas) at 5.9% after the price. Action, not a receipt. Size it like one. The one moving our way is Troy at Utah State, Troy +3.5, 1 point our way since the open.
Since the last build, Bengals at Steelers climbed to Damn Near Nasty; UConn at Miami (OH) slipped to A Little Nasty.
If you're playing one, it's the receipt: Texas A&M at LSU, Texas A&M +9. Conviction is the whole point of the rung. This is it.

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

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: UNLV at Akron, Under 52.5. Best number on the board, 1 point better than Pinnacle, and the total has come up 3 points since it opened. A total, so it stays a sneaky.

Marked: best for Clemson, higher payout on each moneyline.
If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Clemson PK · -110 at Caesars. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.
Weather at kickoff: 8 mph wind, 64°F.
Across the books: opened +1.5, now +0.5. The market has moved 0.7 away from Clemson, 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's a play at +1.0.
TOM: spread PK here against +0.7 consensus.

Across the books: opened -13.5, now -12.5. The market has moved 0.9 toward Wake Forest, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking.
Kalshi thin: Under 58.5, only $25 available; Wake Forest Demon Deacons ML, only $205 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.
TOM: total 58.5 here against 58.2 consensus.

Marked: best for the Buffalo side and the Over, higher payout on each moneyline.
If you're betting it anyway: Buck wouldn't. Nothing here is even the better half of a coin flip.
Weather at kickoff: 9 mph wind, 69°F.
Kalshi thin: Over 44.5, only $52 available; Under 44.5, only $52 available; Robert Morris Colonials ML, only $5 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.
The ratings sit 12 points off the market here. A gap that big usually means a rating is stale, not that the market is wrong, so the number is discounted.

Damn Near Nasty. Steelers +3.5: all 4 ratings our side, 3.1% 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.

Marked: best for Steelers, higher payout on each moneyline.
If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Steelers +3.5 · -105 at DraftKings. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.
Weather at kickoff: 8 mph wind, 67°F.
Moved up since the last run: was Not Nasty, now Damn Near Nasty.
Across the books: opened +2.5, now +3.5. The market has moved 1.0 away from Steelers, 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: Pittsburgh Steelers +3.5, only $25 available; Under 42.5, only $243 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.
Also out: Michael Pittman Jr. (WR, Steelers), Jack Driscoll (OT, Steelers), Brian Parker II (OT, Bengals) and 4 more.

Weather at kickoff: 8 mph wind, 82°F.
Across the books: opened -2.5, now -3.0. The market has moved 0.7 away from Patriots, 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.
Also out: Dametrious Crownover (OT, Patriots), Patrick Mekari (G, Jaguars), Mike Onwenu (G, Patriots) and 4 more.
TOM: total 45.5 here against 45.2 consensus.

Marked: best for Bears, higher payout on each moneyline.
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, 69°F.
Across the books: opened +4.0, now +3.5. The market has moved 0.9 toward Bears, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking.
Kalshi thin: Over 44.5, only $64 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.
QB out: Caleb Williams (Bears), Doubtful. 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: Dallas Goedert (TE, Eagles), Eli Stowers (TE, Eagles), Landon Dickerson (G, Eagles) and 4 more.
TOM: spread +3.0 here against +3.3 consensus.
TOM: moneyline +152 here against +165 consensus.

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."
How it's going
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.

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
It's 14 graded bets. That tells you nothing yet, in either direction. Ask again after fifty.
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: 81 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: 28 of 81 moved our way, average +0.2 points, and the full board kept the side 39 times, flipped it 4, went quiet 38. 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.
College, 113 finished games. The market's total misses the final by 12.2 points on average.

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.
SP+, FPI, Sagarin and Massey for college. nfelo, FPI, Sagarin and Massey for the NFL. Four opinions, none of them ours.
The Four blended toward the market, because the market has already read them. Ratings get 30%, the market 70%.
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.
Every ticket cashed at the number it was written at. No edits, no deletions. Voids say why.
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.

Then the tools: build detail, the funnel, what moved, the line archive, ratings freshness, and the bet log.
We read 87 games across 22 books, priced every moneyline, spread and total, and cross-checked them against the Four. 9 were worth a second look. 3 cleared every check.

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.
Fitted straight from the finals, the weight is 25%, give or take 25% (one standard error, 86 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.
| When | Sport | Weight | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-09-19 | College | 30% → 27% | the fit on 111 games puts the weight at -29% (±14%), two errors from 30% |
Who predicts best
Average points missed against the real margin. Lower is better.

|---|---|---|
| Massey | 71 | 8.78 |

Does the score sort anything?
Every game we priced, grouped by the score we gave it, and how often the side we leaned actually covered. If the rate doesn't climb with the score, the ranking isn't working.
| Score | W-L | Cover rate |
|---|---|---|
| 0.0 to 1.5 | 86-93 | 48% |
The line archive
Every book's price, saved on every run. 832266 prices banked. Books that move most are usually the ones reacting to money rather than setting the number.
A number moves 1.18 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.
