Prediction: Colts 37, Dolphins 21 Season record: 9-1 Comment:

Andrew Luck is back to being a top-five quarterback in the league and it’s too hard to see the Dolphins keeping pace if he’s on track. The Dolphins also have lost nine of their last 10 road games, dating back to last season.

Columnist Prediction: Colts 24, Dolphins 17 Season

record: 7-3 Comment: Andrew Luck is hot and so is Indianapolis’ offense, which will likely get the best of Miami’s opportunistic defense, which needs turnovers to play well. Even with Ryan Tannehill’s return, it’s doubtful that Miami can keep pace with the Colts because of all he injuries plaguing the defense.

Prediction: Colts 34, Dolphins 20 Season record: 9-1 Comment:

The Colts’ offense is red-hot right now, and the Dolphins’ offense is not. Ryan Tannehill, even rusty, should be an improvement for the Dolphins, and Frank Gore will be eager to show his former team what they are missing. But it won’t be enough to overcome Andrew Luck in Indianapolis. Keven Lerner

Prediction: Colts 31, Dolphins 17 Season record: 6-4 Comment:

The Colts are riding high with Andrew Luck and look for their fifth straight win after a 1-5 start. Luck is having his best season with a career-high completion percentage (67.3) and quarterback rating (101.8). His 29 touchdown passes rank second in the NFL, trailing only Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes (37). Steve Svekis

Prediction: Colts 24, Dolphins 19 Season record: 7-3 Comment:

Andrew Luck is in the midst of the greatest stretch in his career, with 13 touchdown passes and only one interception in his past four games. He also has not been sacked the past five games. If the Dolphins somehow grab a win, they are suddenly in very good position for the sixth AFC seed.
