According to SportsBetting.com, the Broncos will once again be underdogs despite having a better record than the Falcons this week. They are 4-point underdogs as of Saturday with an over/under at a whooping 50. Oddsmakers are expecting plenty of offense in this game.

Drew Lock had two and a half quarters of Tim Tebow like ball, then a quarter and a half of Tebowmania like ball. The extreme low paired with the extreme high was quite the roller coaster of emotions. Offensive Coordinator Pat Shurmur was asked if Lock went through his progressions better in that win last week.

“Yeah, I did,” Shurmur said. “I think that was evident in the last drive. We executed that last drive in a short amount of time, and we had to take small bites. What did he say last week? He missed some baby throws. I think he hit some of those baby throws that helped keep the drive alive. It’s the guys that are catching the ball in zones and just catching and splitting zones that a short gain can become a longer gain.”

That has been a knock on Lock going back to college, but if the switch has flipped and he can begin working the entire field from the pocket then the Broncos just have too many weapons on offense for him not to be very successful.

We’ll find out if he has taken that next step some this week as he faces a fairly bad Falcons defense.
