"A domed game on a fast track against a mediocre team is just what the Dolphins need to get off to a good start. Indianapolis is better than you'd think with a similar eight wins last year despite awful quarterback play. Daniel Jones will improve that some. But the Dolphins' speed on offense will benefit from the fast field and this Dolphins defense can hold up against Jones and this offense. This season gets the good start it desperately needs."
"First and foremost, Miami must stop the run with running back Jonathan Taylor and a strong left side of the Indianapolis offensive line. I trust the front seven to be formidable there. Then, I worry about the Dolphins' unproven cornerbacks covering a talented receiving trio of Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce and Josh Downs, but quarterback Daniel Jones does not scare me at all and the pass rush should affect him."
The Miami Dolphins are favored to defeat the Indianapolis Colts in the Week 1 opener. A domed stadium and a fast playing surface are expected to enhance Miami's speedy offense. The Dolphins' front seven is viewed as capable of stopping Indianapolis' run game led by Jonathan Taylor. Concerns exist about Miami's inexperienced cornerbacks and limited time together offensively, particularly the Tua Tagovailoa–Tyreek Hill connection. Daniel Jones is expected to be an improvement for the Colts, but he likely will face pressure from Miami's pass rush. The game could have wild-card playoff implications.
