Buck's Take

Five Nasty Picks on the counter this week: Pittsburgh +3, San Diego State +7, Ohio -3 -110 at TOM, Cincinnati +7 -102 at DraftKings and South Florida -5.5 -110 at Caesars. The number's wrong and I can show my work. That's what a receipt is.

UCF at Houston, UCF +12. Every system has Houston by 6.5; the market has Houston by 12. The number at the book misses the Cut. It's a Nasty Pick at +14.

Baylor at Arizona State, Baylor +3.5. Every system has Baylor by 2.5; the market has Arizona State by 3.5. The number at the book misses the Cut. It's a Nasty Pick at +3.5.

A little nasty, if you want action: 5 sneakies; the strongest is Massachusetts -6.5 (Eastern Michigan at Massachusetts) at 5.6% after the price. Action, not a receipt. Size it like one. The one moving our way is North Texas at Tulsa, Over 56.5, down 1 since the open.

If you're playing one, it's the receipt: Pittsburgh at Virginia Tech, Pittsburgh +3. The number's wrong and the Four agree. That's the receipt.

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: North Texas at Tulsa, Over 56.5. Best number on the board, 1 point better than Pinnacle, and the total has come down 1 point since it opened. A total, so it stays a sneaky.

A Little Nasty, Over 56.5. 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 North Texas by 1, the Nasty Number says North Texas by 1. Nothing there.

Across the books: opened +3.5, now +7.0. The market has moved 3.6 away from San Diego State, 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 58.5, only $362 available; San Diego State Aztecs ML, only $28 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Weather at kickoff: 10 mph wind, 75°F.

Across the books: opened -8.5, now -6.5. The market has moved 1.7 toward Cincinnati, 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.

Kalshi thin: Arizona Wildcats -6.5, only $120 available; Over 56.5, only $61 available; Under 56.5, only $416 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Nasty Pick. Posted Monday at South Florida -5.5 -110 at Caesars. Don't bet this at today's number. We posted South Florida -5.5 -110 at Caesars on Monday; now South Florida -6.5 · -112 at DraftKings. The number is a point worse and the price is 2 cents worse, from -110 to -112, and that's a different bet from the one we posted, pushes counted. If you already have it at -5.5, you're set. It's a play again at -5.5 -110 or better. Market says South Florida by 6.5, the Nasty Number says South Florida by 7.

A Little Nasty, Massachusetts. Market says Massachusetts by 6.5, the Nasty Number says Massachusetts by 8. At -105 that's too thin to bet. A half point better and it's a play.

Kalshi thin: Eastern Michigan Eagles +6.5, only $12 available; Over 49.5, only $36 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

A Little Nasty, not rated

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is the Under 51.5 · -110 at TOM. The totals model is still proving itself.

Weather at kickoff: 14 mph wind, 83°F. Total pulled down 1.4 for it.

Across the books: opened -3.5, now -3.0. The market has moved 0.6 away from Hawai'i, 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: Hawaii Rainbow Warriors -2.5, only $87 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

TOM: total 51.5 here against 51.2 consensus.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is the Over 58.5 · -110. The totals model is still proving itself.

Weather at kickoff: 8 mph wind, 79°F, 52% chance of rain. Total pulled down 1 for it.

Across the books: opened +7.5, now +4.0 (the market moved 3.7 toward NC State). It crossed 7 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Kalshi thin: Louisville Cardinals -3.5, only $13 available; Under 58.5, only $150 available; Louisville Cardinals ML, only $6 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Kentucky +3.5 · -120 at TOM. A coin flip, the better half of it.

Weather at kickoff: 5 mph wind, 83°F, 83% chance of rain. Total pulled down 1 for it.

Across the books: opened -6.0, now -3.0. The market has moved 3.0 toward Kentucky, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking.

Kalshi thin: Under 54.5, only $117 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

TOM: spread -3.5 here against -3.0 consensus.

Kalshi thin: Under 51.5, only $292 available; Samford Bulldogs ML, only $233 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

The ratings sit 14 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.

We make it 0 in 100 to win, the price says 1, but prices this far from even aren't reliable enough to rate. Where, best first (Texas Southern to win): Kalshi 1¢ (-0.6%) · Fanatics +7000 (-0.9%). Either of the first two is fine.
Off the band

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

Weather at kickoff: 12 mph wind, 85°F, 57% chance of rain. Total pulled down 1.7 for it.

Kalshi thin: Under 61.5, only $98 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

The ratings sit 11 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.

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

Weather at kickoff: 0 mph wind, 62°F.

Kalshi thin: Under 56.5, only $146 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

No side

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Commanders +4.0 · -110 at TOM. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Across the books: opened +4.5, now +3.5. The market has moved 0.9 toward Commanders, which is where we lean. That's the market agreeing with us, and the value shrinking.

Kalshi thin: Under 47.5, only $60 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Also out: Alec Pierce (WR, Colts), Micheal Clemons (DE, Colts).

Neutral site, so no home field in the number.

A Little Nasty, Jaguars. Market says Bengals by 2.5, the Nasty Number says Bengals by 2. At +101 that's too thin to bet. A half point better and it's a play.

Jaguars +2.5 · +101 (48¢) at Kalshi
Covers 52 in 100 by the Nasty Number. Needs 50 to break even. Too thin for the price. Where, best first (Jaguars): Kalshi or Fanatics +2.5 at +101 (2.1%) · DraftKings Predictions +2.5 at 48¢ on the app (-100 all-in) (1.9%) · BetMGM +2.5 at -102 (1.4%) · Caesars +2.5 at -103 (1.2%) · DraftKings, FanDuel or TOM +2.5 at -105 (0.7%).

We make it 47 in 100 to win. The price says 44. Not enough. On Kalshi that's 47 cents fair, a play under 42.

No side

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Jaguars +2.5 · +101 (48¢) at Kalshi. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 2 mph wind, 67°F.

Kalshi thin: Under 51.5, only $426 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Also out: Jalen Davis (CB, Bengals).

TOM: total 51.5 here against 51.2 consensus.

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is Giants +2.5 · -108 (50¢) at Kalshi. Not a Nasty Pick, just the better side.

Weather at kickoff: 8 mph wind, 64°F.

Across the books: opened -2.5, now +2.0. The market has moved 4.6 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.

Kalshi thin: Over 44.5, only $11 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: Brian Burns (LB, Giants).

TOM: spread +2.5 here against +2.2 consensus.

A Little Nasty, not rated

If you're betting it anyway: Buck's side is the Under 48.0 · -115 at TOM. The totals model is still proving itself.

Across the books: opened +5.5, now +4.5 (the market moved 1.1 toward Raiders).

Kalshi thin: Kansas City Chiefs -4.5, only $72 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

Also out: Jack Bech (WR, Raiders), Dont'e Thornton Jr. (WR, Raiders), Jimmy Holiday (WR, Chiefs) and 2 more.

TOM: spread +4.0 here against +4.5 consensus.

TOM: moneyline +178 here against +196 consensus.

QB out: Caleb Williams (Bears), Doubtful. Priced at 2.5 points off nfelo, FPI, Sagarin, Massey, so the number here already carries the backup.

Also out: Braxton Jones (OT, Bears), Dylan Parham (G, Jets), Kyler Gordon (CB, Bears) and 1 more.

New York Jets has had 7 days off against 5, worth about 0.1 points.

No side

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, 66°F.

Across the books: opened -6.5, now -7.5 (the market moved 0.7 toward Seahawks). It crossed 7 on the way, which is where a lot of games land.

Kalshi thin: Seattle Seahawks -7.5, only $187 available; Under 42.5, only $37 available. Under $500 fillable, so that price isn't counted.

TOM: spread -7.0 here against -7.3 consensus.

TOM: total 42.5 here against 42.9 consensus.

A Little Nasty, Under 48.0. Massey and FPI say under by 4.5 points, which is a little nasty, not a bet: the totals model is still proving itself. On the side, market says Saints by 2.5, the Nasty Number says Saints by 3. Nothing there.

Kalshi thin: Over 47.5, only $12 available; Over 47.5, only $348 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.

Our side taken at the open finished 0.79 points better than the close on average over 43 games.

The head start. 112 Sniffs of Nasty have landed on a rung: the market moved toward the Sunday number 45 times, against it 26, average 0.40 points; the full board kept the side 51 times, flipped 4, went quiet 57.

What a bigger change would have done. Each recorded game day replayed with a candidate setting and scored against the finals (2026-09-21, 2026-09-22, 2026-09-23, 2026-09-25, 2026-09-26, 2026-09-27, 2026-09-28, 2026-09-28).

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 18 graded bets. That tells you nothing yet, in either direction. Ask again after fifty.

Closing line value
+0.28Sides: pts vs close, 23 bets, beat it 65%

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: 112 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: 45 of 112 moved our way, average +0.4 points, and the full board kept the side 51 times, flipped it 4, went quiet 57. 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.

75 priced · 5 Nasty Picks · 20 a little nasty · 5 damn near nasty · ratings rebuild before Tue · audit clean

3 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. 3 games further out are waiting on those numbers, the first of them Tue 6 Oct, 7:00pm. We don't price a game against ratings we know are about to change.

We read 78 games across 22 books, priced every moneyline, spread and total, and cross-checked them against the Four. 2 were worth a second look. 5 cleared every check.

Since 8:20am

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
10.39Points off per game at that weight
10.39The market on its own
170Games graded

Fitted straight from the finals, the weight is 2%, give or take 21% (one standard error, 170 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.

The line archive

Every book's price, saved on every run. 860027 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.
