Colts at Dolphins odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Dolphins 26, Colts 21
Money line
This is a tough one for the Colts. They have struggled offensively and have injuries to deal with on the offensive line. Taylor is not a sure thing to play, which would leave them without their best running back, and Wentz is not 100%.
The Dolphins were close to knocking off the unbeaten Raiders, even with Brissett at quarterback. They are allowing 27.3 points per game, but the Colts are only averaging 18.7 points per contest.
I lean DOLPHINS (-130).
Against the spread
The Colts are 1-2 ATS this season, covering the spread only in their 3-point loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
The Dolphins are 2-1 ATS and have covered the spread in six of their last seven homes games.
I like a relatively healthy Dolphins team over a banged-up Colts team pretty much every week and 2.5-points isn’t enough to think the Colts will lose and still cover.
Take the DOLPHINS -2.5 (-108).
Over/Under
This is a seemingly low total for a Dolphins team that is giving up 27.3 points per game.
However, with Miami averaging only 15.0 points per game and the Colts averaging 18.7, it does make sense despite the teams combining to allow 54.0 points per game. Even a bad offense can look decent against a bad defense.
Take OVER 41.5 (-112).
