NFL Predictions Analysis: On paper the Oakland Raiders should have one of the nastiest D-lines in the NFL. Houston is added to a potent Raiders D-line cocktail that includes Pro-Bowl DE Richard Seymour and disruptive DT Tommy Kelly. Inexplicably the Raiders ranked 26th against the rush last season but the run-stuffing end Houston should make an immediate impact. The 2010 Oakland Raiders AFC West Odds are at +750 on the NFL Betting Moneyline.

The 6’3” 305 Lb. Houston is a well-built lineman that is fiery and instinctive. Lamarr is on the short side and is not an elite pass-rusher but he is a force against the run. Houston gets good penetration at the point of attack and should help the Raiders improve their overall run defense as a rookie.
