The Indianapolis Colts have a great chance to boost their playoff hopes on Sunday, as they host a Miami Dolphins franchise still without star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. In Tua's absence, the Dolphins have struggled to find any offensive fluency at all and have not topped 15 points in any of their last four games. However, the Week 5 victory in New England (15-10) has given them a shred of hope that backup QB Tyler Huntley can keep them in the hunt until Tua returns. The Colts have experienced quarterback issues of their own due to Anthony Richardson's oblique injury. But unlike Miami, Indy have an experienced veteran QB to call on in the form of Joe Flacco. In his three games this season, Flacco has led the Colts to two wins, throwing seven TDs and just one interception in the process. Richardson's status for the Dolphins game is still questionable, but the Colts are in safe hands regardless of who starts under center.

Our Indianapolis Colts vs Miami Dolphins Prediction

It is hard to see the Dolphins racking up many points at the minute, even against one of the leakiest defences in the NFL. Even with the likes of Tyreek Hil and Jalen Waddle in their ranks, this is an offence spinning its wheels until Tua returns. That being said, Miami are still playing relatively well defensively and we think they can limit the Colts' offence regardless of who starts under centre for the home team. Our prediction for Indianapolis Colts vs Miami Dolphins is: Under 40 points, +138 at BetMGM.
