The Broncos intend on scoring a lot of points this season. And they will. And they play in one of the weakest divisions in the NFL. **** VonDoom; they're out to average 30 points a game.
I see it much differently. 10 wins is their floor, 14 could be the ceiling. I don't think it's crazy at all to think they're looking at 12-13 wins.
While our floor is probably 6 wins; and if Alex Smith turns out a career year and we get lucky with injuries, our absolute ceiling is 11 wins.

There is no way that Denver goes 6-0 in the division this year. They open against the Super Bowl winning Ravens, who have a MUCH improved defense over last year with the additions of Dumerville, Brown, etc.
They face the Giants in NY, the Patriots in New England, the Texans in Texas and the Colts in Indy. They have a very tough schedule.
To win 13 games or more, a team has to be incredibly good or incredibly lucky. Denver last year was incredibly lucky because they faced a very poor AFC West division in which they swept.
They're a good team but nowhere near a 14 game winner.
