The 5-5 Miami Dolphins are still hoping they could catch the 7-3 New England Patriots atop the AFC East. A win this coming weekend against the also 5-5 Indianapolis Colts will help Miami add pressure to the Pats. It’s going to be easier said than done, though, as the Colts are on a hot streak and seemed to have figured it all.
The Dolphins are +20,000 to win the AFC, while the Colts have +2,500 odds to be this season’s AFC champs.

Betting on the Miami Dolphins (5-5)
The Dolphins are going to have quarterback Ryan Tannehill back. After going 2-3 SU in their last five games with Brock Osweiler as the team’s starting quarterback, the Dolphins expect Tannehill to reprise his role as the team’s starter under center this coming Sunday. Tannehill missed five games, including Week 10’s 31-12 road loss to the Green Bay Packers (before a Week 11 bye) because of a shoulder injury, but is reportedly on pace to play again this coming weekend. But of the Dolphins’ offensive line will not change their ways, Tannehill may get injured again. Osweiler is lucky he didn’t get hurt during his stint as the starter in which he was sacked 16 times. Against the Colts, Osweiler was taken down six times for a loss of 50 yards. Meanwhile, ageless wonder and Dolphins running back Frank Gore will face his former team after rushing for 90 yards on 12 carries against the Packers. He’s 35, but obviously has enough gas in his tank to help Miami’s offense that averages only 19.9 points per game.
The under is 5-1 in the Dolphins’ last six road games.
Betting on the Indianapolis Colts (5-5)
It’s not that hard to see why the Colts are having much success of late. Among the biggest reason is their sturdy offensive line that has protected quarterback Andrew Luck like he’s inside Fort Knox. In fact, Luck hasn’t been sacked over his last 214 dropbacks. Thanks in large part to that kind of pass protection, Luck has passed for at least three touchdowns in each of his last seven games. In last week’s 38-10 home win over the Tennessee Titans, Luck went 23-of-29 for 297 passing yards to go along with 297 passing yards and three touchdowns with zero interceptions. Luck’s prospect of making a killing on the field this weekend is high, considering that the Dolphins have one of the lousiest pass rushing in the league. Miami only has 17 sacks to show thus far this season, fourth fewest in the league. It’s one of the only five teams that has yet to record more than 19 sacks this season. In other words, Luck and the Colts’ offense that averages 29.8 points (fifth) and 269.1 passing yards (10th) per game are going to enjoy their meeting with Miami.
The Colts are 2-0-1 ATS in their last three home games.
Writer’s Prediction
Indianapolis wins, 31-21.
