Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock will be making his fourth start of his young career on Sunday against the Detroit Lions and all eyes are going to be on the second-round pick.
Lock has had some ups and downs so far which should be expected with a young quarterback. So how will he perform on Sunday? Let's breakdown three bold predictions for the Broncos quarterback against the Lions.
3. Drew Lock doesn't throw an interception
Drew Lock hasn't had an issue with interceptions so far in his career, but he has thrown one pick in each of his three games. This is going to be the first game where he doesn't turn the ball over.
The good news for Lock heading into this game is the Lions haven't been a defense that has forced many turnovers this season. On the season the Lions only have six interceptions total as a team.
Even if Lock does make a mistake or two the Lions haven't been opportunistic with the passes that have come their way. Lock is going to take good care of the ball and the Lions won't be creating any turnovers from his passes.
2. Lock throws for 350 yards
Lock hasn't thrown for more than 310 yards yet in a game, but he should go well over that in this game. Lock isn't as explosive as a quarterback as Jameis Winston yet, but he should have similar to the type of game Winston had in the last game.
Winston threw for 458 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception in the last game against the Lions. Lock is going to light up the Lions defense and that is going to lead to him throwing for at least 350 yards. It actually wouldn't be that shocking if he finished closer to that 400-yard mark.
1. Lock leads the Broncos to a win by 13 points
The Buccaneers are not known for having an elite defense, and the Lions could only muster 17 points against them. The Broncos defense should lock down and that is going to lead to the Lions not scoring many points.
Lock is not going to receive a whole lot of pushback from the Lions defense, which is going to lead to the Broncos moving the ball up and down the field.
This game is going to be a blowout and will be over basically by halftime. Look for the Broncos to win this game by at least 13 points.
