  • The Miami Dolphins and Indianapolis Colts possess identical 5-5 SU records and are part of a five-way tie for the sixth and final playoff spot in the AFC, so the Week 12 clash between the clubs in Indiana could go a long way into shaping the landscape of the postseason picture down the stretch. Sportsbooks opened the Colts as 10-point home favorites with a total of 50.5.

    SHARK BITES
    • The Dolphins are 6-2 SU and 7-1 ATS in their last eight games on the road vs the Colts.
    • The total has gone UNDER in 13 of the Colts’ last 18 games at home (avg. combined score: 43.67).
    • The Dolphins are 1-9 SU and ATS in their last 10 games on the road.

    Dolphins vs Colts Game Center

    Luck has propelled the Colts to four straight wins

    Upon first glance, a matchup this late in the year between teams with the same record featuring a double-digit spread is a bit of an eye-opener. After spending the past few years as an afterthought in the AFC South, the Colts are once again looking like contenders and are Sportsbooks of four straight entering this one. Andrew Luck is healthy and playing like a top-tier quarterback, as the Stanford product has 29 touchdowns and 2,769 passing yards to go along with only nine interceptions in 2018.

    Indianapolis’ success this time of the year is far from a shock, as the club is 11-2-1 ATS in its past 14 November games. When it comes to the total, bettors might want to pay attention to the UNDER this weekend. The UNDER is 13-5 in the Colts’ past 18 home games, with an average combined score of 43.7 points. The UNDER is also 6-1 in the Dolphins’ previous seven road contests, with an average combined score of 45.2 points.

    Dolphins are badly in need of an offensive boost

    The Dolphins are well rested after coming off the bye and will be looking to get some good news on the injury front for the first time this season. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill hasn’t played since Week 5 due to a shoulder injury and could return in this game. Backup signal-caller Brock Osweiler has carried the load in Tannehill’s absence but has struggled over the past few weeks and is clearly not the man to carry the Fins to the playoffs going forward.

    Miami has been especially poor on the road dating back to last season, going 1-9 SU and ATS in its previous 10 away from home. The Dolphins are 5-14 SU when playing in the early block of games on Sunday.

    My pick: take the UNDER

    The 50.5 Sportsbook number is as high as it is due to oddsmakers respecting the suddenly resurgent Colts offense, but I’m not sure if the Dolphins will be able to do enough to get this game over the total. The aforementioned UNDER trends only back up my confidence in this one staying below the total.
