- Prisco finished his latest week 7-7 against the spread and 10-4 straight up, leaving season records of 50-68-3 ATS and 72-48-1 overall.
- Jacksonville Jaguars were a 10-point favorite at the Baltimore Ravens without Lamar Jackson, with rookie Joe Fagnano starting; Prisco projected a 27-16 road win.
- Cincinnati Bengals were three-point favorites at the Atlanta Falcons in Spain, with Prisco projecting a 33-21 win built around Joe Burrow’s offense.
- Dallas Cowboys were six-point favorites at the Indianapolis Colts after their loss to Arizona, with Prisco expecting their passing game to deliver a 31-17 rebound.
- New York Giants were one of three underdog picks at +3.5, projected to beat the Philadelphia Eagles 22-20; the Rams at +5.5 and Texans at +4.5 were the others.
- San Francisco 49ers were 10-point favorites over the Las Vegas Raiders after a bye against a team playing consecutive road games, with Brock Purdy projected for a 31-17 win.
- Buffalo Bills were 3.5-point favorites over the Minnesota Vikings in the “game of the week,” with Prisco forecasting a 21-14 win on the strength of Buffalo’s improved defense and Minnesota’s limited offense.
Why it matters: For NFL bettors, winner identity and point-spread value diverge: Prisco went 10-4 straight up but only 7-7 ATS, leaving season records of 72-48-1 and 50-68-3. His Week 9 slate also asks bettors to back three underdogs—Giants, Rams and Texans—making those margins more consequential than simply picking the winner.
