Bold prediction No. 3: Lock throws 30 TD passes

Last season, Lock only threw 16 touchdown passes, just one more than he had interceptions. So how is he going to throw nearly twice that this season?

Lock is capable of putting up numbers like this. He did miss three games last season, so with a full 16-game schedule, he can get his numbers up. But he will also have his No.1 receiver this season, Courtland Sutton, who missed almost all of last year.

But it’s not just Sutton. The Broncos will have Jerry Jeudy in year two, who most feel will have a huge year. Noah Fant is on his way to being one of the best tight ends in the league and both  Tim Patrick and K.J. Hamler should be able to chip in and make timely plays.

There’s a reason why Aaron Rodgers reportedly saw Denver as a great destination. He could have had a massive year in the Mile High City, so why can’t Lock?

Lock is going to throw at least  30 touchdown passes this season and he is going to have at least two games in which he throws at least four touchdown passes and looks like the guy we saw in Carolina against the Panthers last season.

There is a lot of uncertainty at quarterback for the Broncos at the moment, but Lock will leave no doubts by the time the 2021 season closes.
