Miami Dolphins vs Indianapolis Colts: Predictions, Tips, Odds

play

The Miami Dolphins entered Week 6 with a 2-3 record and a serious problem at quarterback. But despite a week of rest, her problems haven't gone away. Miami may be just a game and a half out of first place in the AFC East, but with Tua Tagovailoa sidelined, the Dolphins' explosive offense is looking more like a blast than TNT. However, the offense should have plenty of opportunity for explosive plays when facing an Indianapolis Colts defense that has given up the third-most yards in the NFL.

Of course, the offense is only half the battle. Miami's defense was one of the surprises of the first half of the season. They are currently giving up just 5.2 yards per game, which is ninth-best in the league. Can Joe Flacco or Anthony Richardson, whoever the Colts choose at quarterback in Sunday's matchup, overcome such a stout defense?

Here are our experts' predictions for the Week 7 showdown.

Lorenzo Reyes: Colts 22, Dolphins 16

The Dolphins are so completely unreliable when Tua Tagovailoa isn't playing that it's difficult to support them even if they're coming off a bye week. The Colts aren't exactly consistent and Anthony Richardson hasn't exactly had a productive season. Either way, I would wait to see what the status of Indy running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is this week before making a decision.

Tyler Dragon: Colts 21, Dolphins 20

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa is still on injured reserve. Colts QB Anthony Richardson (oblique) is on his way to returning. I expect Richardson's return to spark Indy's rushing attack. But Richardson has to worry about football. He has six interceptions in four games. The Colts have the third-worst defense in the NFL, but can Miami's offense find a rhythm without Tagovailoa? The current tape says no.

Richard Morin: Colts 18, Dolphins 13

Joe Flacco gets the job done in Indianapolis. I like the under, but I also like the Colts' chances of getting over .500 this season.

Jordan Mendoza: Dolphins 16, Colts 13

Miami has looked lost in recent weeks, but this would be a good game for its explosive stars like Tyreek Hill to break out and get a much-needed win to keep the season alive.
