It’s that time of year when it is time to make your NFL Betting Picks and throw down a little dough.

There are definitely some teams that are a tad undervalued and could provide by season’s end.

It is nearly impossible to pick this year’s Green Bay Packers who went 6-10 in 2008 but went 11-5 last year or the Saints who finished with a .500 record in 2008 and had a magical run last year.

Here are three teams that could eclipse the Totals set out by the Vegas oddsmakers.

Dallas Cowboys: Over 10 wins (-120); Under 10 wins (-110)

The Dallas Cowboys are coming off an 11 win season that saw them get better as the season rolled along.

They were a scary team last year with Roy Williams as a second receiver. Enter Dez Bryant who should make us all forget the Roy Williams experiment. Romo now has Miles Austin, Bryant and Jason Whitten to throw to.

Felix Jones figures to get more carries this year and he should. Behind him are Marion Barber and Tashard Choice – pretty strong.

On Defense, the Cowboys will be strong once again with DeMarcus anchoring the unit. All told, the Cowboys are good for 11-12 wins this season.

NFL Pick: Dallas Cowboys Over 10 wins

New England Patriots: Over 9 ½ wins (-125): Under 9 ½ wins (-105)

There has been a lot of talk about the demise of the New England Patriots. They are old, their defense sucks and they have absolutely no running game.

All true, but they are the New England Patriots. Despite Tom Brady struggling out of the gate last season and the loss of Wes Welker for various points of the season, they still finished with the 3rd ranked passing offense and a 10-6 record.

Brady will be healthy from the outset this season and Welker, by all accounts should be ready. Torry Holt was brought in (I know, I know) so the Patriots shouldn’t have a problem through the air.

The running game is what it is – effective when it has to be and a unit whose sole job is to act as a decoy for the passing game.

The defense is the X-factor for this team. Somehow I have faith in Bill Belichek to figure something out. I can’t see the Pat winning less than 10 games this season – no way!

NFL Pick: New England Patriots Over 9 ½ wins

Houston Texans: Over 8 wins (-135): Under 8 wins (+105)

The Houston Texans are coming off of the first .500 season in team history. Despite Brian Cushing’s steroid ban and Andre Johnson’s contract dispute, there is no denying that this team is solid.

They will get Owen Daniels back from injury and with Matt Schaub coming into his own last season, they will have a top rated offense once again this year.

The running game is pedestrian at best but will be decent enough to take the Texans to at least a nine win season.

I’m not saying that they are ready to unseat the Indianapolis Colts, but I am saying that Coach Gary Kubiak and his balanced team are good enough to eclipse 8 wins.
