    Back in Miami for a week 4 showing against a seriously banged up Colts team.
    The Colts are 0-3 on the season having faced off against the Seahawks, Rams and Titans. The Rams game was a close 24-27 loss.

    For tomorrow's game the Colts have ruled out 5 players:
    All-Pro Guard Quenton Nelson
    RT Braden Smith
    Rookie DE Kwity Paye
    S Khari Willis
    CB Rock Ya-Sin (Awesome name!)

    Listed as questionable on Friday were:
    QB Carson Wentz
    RB Jonathan Taylor
    G Mark Glowinski
    TE Jack Doyle

    But these are all expected to play.

    All Pro LB Darius Leonard was limited in practises this week but is also expected to play.

    ---------------------
    In Miami:



    The Dolphins will be missing over-achieving centre Michael Deiter who is now on IR. FA acquisition Greg Mancz will be asked to step up, and Cameron Tom is being elevated from the practise squad.

    Also absent for the Dolphins:



    In a season of some oddities, the Dolphins aren't filling up their 53 man roster... exactly.
    Putting Deiter on IR means the Dolphins can promote someone to the 53 man roster. They haven't done so, however. Instead, they elevated Tom from the PS, which they're entitled to do. So, they technically have 54 players listed but only 52 out of their 53 and then a plus one with Tom. They may not see a need to have that extra player but I would have thought they promote someone up anyway... maybe there is some sort of technicality they're keeping an eye on.

    ----------------------------------------

    The Dolphins are just favoured to win.
    Here's the breakdown from Oddsshark - Colts vs Dolphins Betting Odds, Preview & Pick| Odds Shark

    "The Dolphins opened as 2.5-point favorites in this matchup but have since been bet down a point to Miami -1.5. Heavy early action on the UNDER at its opening line of 45.5 points has shifted the line down to 43 points. The OVER is 6-2 in Indianapolis’s last eight road games."

    "Through his first three games with the Colts, Wentz has thrown only three touchdown passes and is averaging 230.7 passing yards per game.

    Indianapolis ranks 21st in the NFL in total yards per game with 318.3 and is 24th in scoring at 18.7 points per game. The Colts are missing Philip Rivers this season – the veteran quarterback led the team to an 11-5 SU and 8-8 ATS regular season a year ago and guided the league’s ninth-highest scoring offense, averaging 28.2 points per game."

    "Jacoby Brissett has thrown 89 passes over Miami’s last two games and has completed 56 of them, but for only 384 total yards with no touchdown passes and an interception. The Dolphins’ five yards per pass attempt is second-worst in the NFL only to the Chicago Bears. Miami ranks 29th in total yards per game (268.3) and 30th in points per game (15)."

    "Staff Betting Pick: Miami -1.5
    Neither of these teams has given us much reason to be confident in them heading into this matchup. With the Dolphins coming off a decent showing against a solid Raiders team and having home-field advantage here, we’ll take Miami."

    -----------------------------------------------------

    I don't mean to be a Debbie Downer but I'm struggling to be excited about a win here. This just feels like a gimme. I don't mean to disrespect the Colts but how are we supposed to be excited about the prospect of beating a losing team that is also very beat up? What's next, shall we get pumped up about the prospect of taking candy from babies?

    Maybe I'm selling the Colts short. Maybe the Dolphins don't just win, but they show true cohesion. Maybe there will be a lot to like. Maybe...

    If we lose this one and keep on losing... someone's head is going to roll before the season is ended I think. Time will tell, but I'll bet there's a least one or two guys who are anxious about tomorrow's result.

    Fins up guys! Let's get the win.

    It's rare that a W is a gimme in the NFL. It's one reason people don't do that well betting on games. Remember last week? A lot of us thought the Dolphins would get gashed and that the -3.5 point spread for the Raiders was an easy bet for the Raiders. Guess what? We took it to OT and people betting on the Raiders spread lost that bet. Vegas was right about it being competitive. Same should be assumed here. We're only favored -2.5 and part of is because our offense is trash. We're #30 right now in points scored!!

    I do expect us to win. Partly because of home field advantage and partly because we don't seem to quit. But I do not expect this offense to suddenly show it's worth anything under Brissett or our clueless OC's. So I expect both frustration and a win tomorrow lol.

    Starting October off right with the throwbacks. We should see some good highlights from Howard and Waddle.

    Our offense should work out given the colts style is to limit big plays. I think we win 16-13.

    P.S. already rooting against the 49ers. Let's go Hags

    I'm excited because this is the first "average" team we're facing and a decent gauge of what we can expect in the weeks to come. It's a shame Tua isn't out there, but I still feel like we should win by a decent margin.

    Win today. Then you're playing with house money against hopefully a more banged up Tampa. They always give Brady a hard time anyway. If they lose no big deal against an NFC opponent.

    They're 3-2 or 2-3 with Tua coming back and the season starts fresh.

    If they lose today that would be a disaster. They must win.

    28 yard gain on a pass play; penalty on the OL to negate it.

    Sounds like it's the Miami Dolphins playing. Yup.

    Brissett is hard to watch. It's slow motion.

    Big special teams play.

    Im not sure why Brissett is throwing that pass to Smythe. It was so well covered and shoulda been an INT.

    This offense is tough to watch. Only Grier could invest at WR completely overlooking how bad his OL is

    offense looks the same. Defense got a sack on the colts only drive. Waddle has made a few good plays so far.

    They showed three open guys in the middle of the field on one of those plays. Brissett is scared to throw it past 10 yards. He's just dumping it off and throwing quick outs.
