The Denver Broncos look to remain undefeated as they take on the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. This should be a great game, as both teams are playing well to start the season. Baltimore is the toughest opponent Denver will face so far this year. It's time to continue our NFL predictions series with a Broncos Week 4 prediction.
Denver's defense is no joke. They have a stellar front seven with an even better secondary. The Broncos will stay within reach as long as the defense does their part. Lamar Jackson is a wizard in the pocket, but the Broncos should be able to contain the Ravens' passing game.
Offensively, Denver has been a bit surprising so far. Regardless, they have a chance to continue playing at a high level against Baltimore. Javonte Williams could be in for a big game as the rookie running back attempts to earn an expanded role sooner, rather than later.
With multiple injuries in the receiving core, we should see Courtland Sutton and Noah Fant provide consistency. Lastly, Teddy Bridgewater has been getting the job done and could surprise Baltimore with a big game. With that said, here are four Broncos Week 4 predictions versus the Ravens.

49ers Week 4 Predictions
4. Broncos defense shuts down the Ravens passing attack
This should be an electric matchup. We have the Broncos secondary that is arguably the best in the NFL, while the Ravens have shown improvement throwing the ball. Lamar Jackson has been letting it fly and the Ravens have been a better team because of it.
Even so, this is an incredibly tough scenario for Baltimore. The Broncos defense is going to challenge Jackson to throw the ball. If Denver can accomplish that goal, then they should be able to walk out of Sunday's game with their fourth victory.
3. Javonte Williams finally has his breakout game
He's sharing the backfield with Melvin Gordon right now which has proven to be a reliable duo for the Broncos. However, Gordon is listed as questionable, which means Javonte Williams could be in for a bigger workload. If that's the case, Williams might have that breakout game everyone has been waiting for.
2. Courtland Sutton and Noah Fant combine for 175+ receiving yards and 3 touchdowns
They've lost Jerry Jeudy for several weeks and KJ Hamler for the entire season. It's been an unfortunate turn of events for this Broncos team. However, Courtland Sutton has been playing well and Noah Fant has been playing like an elite tight end so far.
They both had a quiet game in Week 3, but with the injuries piling up we should see Sutton and Fant play in featured roles. With the Ravens dealing with injuries of their own in the secondary, Courtland Sutton and Noah Fant are in line to have huge performances.
1. Teddy Bridgewater puts on a performance that will give John Harbaugh nightmares
Teddy Bridgewater isn't the most exciting quarterback but he's getting the job done in Denver. However, there's a slight chance Bridgewater puts up a scary performance against the Baltimore Ravens.
The Ravens have struggled against the pass, for the most part, this year. Especially when it comes to the tight end position. Due to their recent troubles, we could see Bridgewater light up the field on Sunday and playing like a franchise quarterback. It's a long shot, but if Bridgewater can keep his composure and deliver accurate throws, the Broncos could pull off the unthinkable and defeat the Ravens.
