The Colts have a similar set of weapons on offense to the Falcons. A top rate QB, a star receiver and a sure handed #2, two top notch runners and an elite tight end.
With the crowd in Miami's favor, I think they shut Indy down like they did Atlanta. But I don't think the offense improves.
Colts 17
Dolphins 13
Actually, I think it should be noted (b/c I think it could be very important) that the Colts' Gonzalez (Anthony?) is out indefinitely right now so I don't know that you could safely say that Indy will be playing with a "sure handed #2" in this game. From what I saw on nfl.com earlier today, they will be rotating between that Garcon fella that played late last season for them when Harrison was hurt again and some guy I've never heard of that I'm not gonna go back to nfl.com to find. Hopefully that'll at least help our young corners some.
As for a prediction, you're not getting one out of me. Call me what you will, the few times I've offered predictions here, I think we've lost besides one time, so I'll err on the side of precaution and not give one. 'Sides, I really don't know who I'd pick. As crappy as we looked offensively last week, Indy didn't exactly look like a worldbeater themselves, and even though it's certainly early in the season, I think we'd really like to keep from having to repeat what we did last season...that is, have a good season after starting 0-2, if we can help it. I could see this game going either way, but hopefully it won't end in a tie.
