The underdog has paid off seven of the last eight times in this series, so take the Dolphins Sunday in Indianapolis against the Colts.
Miami and Indianapolis enter into this contest with very little left to play for this season. Indy is going to the playoffs and Miami is going golfing.
Dolphins HC Nick Saban is expected to start rookie QB Cleo Lemon in the road finale this week. The young pivot played fairly well against the Jets last time out, completing 67.4% of his passes for a 98.6 passer rating after replacing slumping starter Joey Harrington . Look for Lemon to do more than enough damage this week against an always vulnerable Colts D, while the Fins' staunch defense and secondary will limit Peyton Manning and company from romping to a double digit win.
Final Notes & Trends: The underdog is 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings in this series. The visitor is 7-2 ATS in the last nine connfrontations. The Fins are 6-1 ATS in their last seven on the road against a winning team. Indy has failed to cover in 4-straight Week 17 contests. Take the points.
