The Denver Broncos will put their unblemished record on the line on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens.

Though the Broncos are 3-0, they still have countless doubters as their opponents thus far have a combined record of 0-10. They could start to get much more respect with a big win over the Ravens in Week 4.

The Ravens are a tough team to figure out through three games. They narrowly lost in Week 1 to the Las Vegas Raiders in overtime before knocking off the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2. Last Sunday, they were on the ropes against the Detroit Lions before Justin Tucker won the game on an NFL record 66-yard field goal.

They also have Lamar Jackson, one of the league’s most dynamic players. Jackson comes into this game in fourth place on the NFL’s rushing yardage list this season. That is not a list for quarterbacks, that is for all players.

The Broncos are going to have their hands full in this one, but they have a favorable advantage over the Ravens in games played between these two teams at home. This will be Jackson’s first game in Denver.

The Broncos will come into this game missing several key players such as Jerry Jeudy, K.J. Hamler and Bradley Chubb, but here are four bold predictions for this game.

Teddy airs it out

The Ravens rank in the top 10 in the league against the run, giving up just 79 yards per game. But their defense can be had through the air.

Teddy Bridgewater3 is going to continue his excellent start to the season by completing a high percentage of his throws and avoiding turnovers but in this game, he is going to rack up the yardage.

The Ravens are giving up 314.7 yards per game through the air, good for 30th in the league.

Bridgewater went over the 300-yaerd mark in Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars and he will do so again on Sunday.

Bold prediction: Bridgewater will throw for 300+ yards and at least two touchdowns.
