NFL: Top 25 boldest predictions for the rest of the season
By Nick Villano
NFL: Top 25 boldest predictions for the rest of the season: 24. There will be a Drew Lock sighting this season.
Before the season, the Denver Broncos put it on like Drew Lock and Teddy Bridgewater had the same shot to win the quarterback job. It became pretty clear that Bridgewater was the clear and utter winner of that competition. The Broncos traded for him for a reason even if they didn’t give up that much for him.
Has Bridgewater been good this season? Well, not exactly. It started off really well, as he looked really good as the Broncos went off to a 3-0 start. Then, he got knocked out of the fourth game of the season against the Baltimore Ravens, and he hasn’t looked the same since. Drew Lock came in that game, and it didn’t go well. However, things are going to eventually go off the rails, and the Broncos are going to try to unlock Lock (sorry, I had to).
The Broncos do not have the solution to the quarterback position in house, but Lock is more likely to be the “future” at that position than Bridgewater. Someone is going to pay Bridgewater more than the Broncos are willing to pay him, so they will want to see what Lock has in the tank. Will it go well? That’s anyone’s guess, but this prediction is just saying the Broncos will try it.
