NFL Betting Odds: Dolphins And Colts Battle In Miami

The Miami Dolphins surprised other teams in the NFL last year on their way to winning a division title. They were subsequently bounced from the playoffs by Baltimore, but the blueprint for success was in place.

This year, however, the Dolphins have already fallen on tough times. They lost their opener to Atlanta and now face the possibility of starting the season 0-2 as they host Indianapolis on Monday Night Football tonight.

The game will be a measuring stick for both teams. The Colts will be playing their second game without Tony Dungy on the sidelines as their head coach. Miami will be attempting to keep pace with the upstart New York Jets.

Monday night provides gamblers a big opportunity as well. The betting line for the game is Indianapolis -3. The Dolphins are a home underdog with a strong defense and that usually means a close game could be in the works. The total is 41.

These Colts do not possess the high flying offense that fans have seen in the past. Instead, the Colts rely on a balanced attack and a strong defense. They survived their opener and now look to put some distance between themselves and defending division champion Tennessee.

The Titans fell to 0-2 on Sunday after losing a divisional game to Houston. The Texans are 1-1, and the fourth team in the division, Jacksonville, is also 0-2. If Indianapolis wins they would have sole possession of first place after the season's first two games.
