Miami can't score

The Dolphins average 15.8 points a game and have been held under 20 in six of eight. Malik Willis threw for 128 yards and no touchdowns in the 19-9 loss to Detroit, and he has six touchdowns against six picks on the year. Now Willis is on injured reserve, and Kyle McCord takes over as the starter Sunday. McCord hadn’t taken an NFL snap entering the season, and his first start comes on the road.

Miami has won one road game all year, a 28-25 squeaker over the Jets. That’s the whole highlight reel.

Miami's front just lost its captain

Defensive tackle Zach Sieler ruptured his biceps against Detroit and is done for the season, per ESPN. Without him, a Dolphins defense with 12 sacks and seven takeaways gets thinner in the middle. Coach Jeff Hafley also called out his team for 11 penalties in that loss. A team bleeding yards on flags with its best interior lineman gone is exactly who you want to face when you need a win.

Feed Jonathan Taylor

Taylor has 656 rushing yards and eight touchdowns, and the Colts come away with points on 87.5% of their red-zone trips. When Taylor ran for 95 yards and two scores against Washington, Indy put up 30. The Colts shipped receiver Keenan Allen to San Francisco on Tuesday, so the passing game got thinner. With Sieler gone from Miami’s front, this is a day to hand Taylor the ball and get out of the way.

Moneyline: who winsSPREAD IS THE BETTER BUY

−200 is a steep price for a team riding a five-game skid. Take the short spread.

How this blows up on me

Daniel Jones and the turnovers. The Colts are minus-11 in turnover margin and Jones has thrown 10 interceptions. If he hands Miami two short fields, that five-game skid becomes six.

The line has moved to −3.5 and −4 since we posted, right on top of our number, so there's no cushion left at those prices.

Our numbers land on Colts 22, Dolphins 18. That’s 40. Miami can’t crack 20, and the Colts throw for just 5.7 yards a pass. It’s indoors, but a dome doesn’t fix a bad offense. Under 40.5.
