Dolphins Exiting Bye Week
The Dolphins are rested and hopefully had some time to address their offensive issues. Miami is last in the AFC in points scored, with only 60, and has a 1-1 record on the road. They have struggled to score without QB Tua Tagovailoa, who has been out since Week 2 and remains unlikely to return in the near future. They will need to find a way to overcome Tagovailoa’s absence against the Colt this week.
Before the bye week, Miami beat the Patriots 15-10. It was a game dominated by field goals, but the Dolphins managed to end their 3-game losing streak. The rushing attack gained 193 yards, massively aiding the struggling passing game. However, they also turned the ball over twice and converted just 2 of 11 3rd downs. The Dolphins are still trying to figure out their QB situation and will keep relying on their running game.
Colts Keeping Things Close
The Colts are a complete .500 team, currently sitting at 3-3 and completely even in points scored and allowed, with 139 each. Each of their last 3 games has been decided by just 3 points. The last 2 games were against struggling teams in their own division, yet things remained close for Indianapolis. They face some tougher matchups in the upcoming weeks.
Last week, the Colts beat the Titans on the road, 20-17. It was a tightly contested game from start to finish, with Indianapolis trailing by 7 going into the 4th quarter. In the final period, Indianapolis’ offense scored 10 points, while the defense pitched a shutout to secure the comeback win. QB Anthony Richardson is aiming to play against Miami after missing three games with an injury. He is 1-2 so far this season.
Dolphins vs Colts Prediction
The Dolphins definitely have a chance to cover the spread or even steal this win. Miami is rested and has had extra time to try new things on offense. The Colts continue to find themselves in close games, even against struggling teams. Additionally, Richardson may take some time to get the offense going and continue his trend of throwing INTs. This could give Miami good field position and further benefit their offense.
