I would think something similar to the narrative style of Lost (and other shows that have followed Lost, like Person of Interest and Revolution).
In that style of show, you have a central "event" (the plane crash on Lost, the starting of "The Machine" on PoI, the global power outage on Revolution), and the "A" plot of each episode takes place after the event and tells a linear story of the characters dealing with the aftermath of the event. There's also the "B" plot of the episodes, which is told in flashbacks and provides background information on the characters that ties in with things happening in the "A" storyline.
The advantage of doing a storyline like that is that they're not constrained to a specific narrative that everyone knows where the end game is. If it was a straight prequel, it would basically be: the pilot shows Saul buying his first billboard, and the finale has Walt walking into Saul's office for the first time, and the entire series would be about getting from point A to point B.
