Dolphins vs Colts Picks
The Dolphins are expected to win at home as the Colts are decimated by injuries. Carson Wentz had another poor outing, throwing for 194 yards hitting on 19 of his 34 throws against the Titans.
As for the Dolphins, Brissett threw the ball 49 times in the overtime loss. Hence, the team would ideally want a more balanced offense this week. But with Mike Gesicki and Jaylon Waddle in good form, Brissett could look their way several times on Sunday.
