The Rundown
After a rough start, Pete Prisco finally found his groove in Week 4. He walked away from this past week with a solid 10-4-1 record, bringing his season total to 48-30-1. He’s lowkey grinding to get those ATS numbers back over .500, and he’s feeling the momentum heading into Week 6.
Key Matchups
- Seahawks vs. Broncos: Seattle is facing a short-week road trip to Denver. Even though the Broncos’ offense has been struggling under play-caller Sean Payton, it’s a tough environment, but Seattle is favored to take the win.
- Jaguars vs. Texans: The Jags have been stationed in London for two weeks, giving them a slight edge. Prisco expects a tight win for Jacksonville against a Houston team looking to keep their division hopes alive.
- Patriots vs. Jets: Drake Maye is officially main character energy right now. The Pats are on a two-game heater, and Prisco is betting they make it three straight wins.
- Chargers vs. Chiefs: Things are looking bleak for the 0-5 Chargers. Going up against an undefeated Chiefs team coming off a bye? The vibes are off for LA.
- Packers vs. Cowboys: Jordan Love is lighting up the sky, and Dallas’ secondary has been failing the vibe check. Expect a high-scoring shootout here.
- Commanders vs. 49ers: Washington is heading into enemy territory to face the league’s hottest team. The 49ers are rolling, and Brock Purdy is looking like a serious MVP contender.
