Dolphins at Colts Predictions Post

Our weekly predictions post returns today, looking at the Miami Dolphins at Indianapolis Colts game this afternoon. However, on the Phinsider, we don't just predict a winner, but we try to get a little more specific than that. Check out this week's set of predictions.

Brian Spurlock-US PRESSWIRE

The Miami Dolphins are getting ready to take on the Indianapolis Colts today. The game features first overall draft pick Andrew Luck going up against eighth overall pick Ryan Tannehill, the first time in NFL history that two top ten draft pick quarterbacks have faced off in their rookie season when both teams have winning records. Let's get to the predictions shall we?

As you know by now, we don't simply pick a winner, however. We are a little more specific than that. To get an idea of what I mean, here are the predictions from last week, the Dolphins' win over the New York Jets. We will list each prediction, the correct answer, and anyone who got that prediction correct. Then, whomever has the most correct answers will be declared the winner.

  • Will Brandon Fields' punt average exceed 50 yards per kick? Yes (53.3); Hollywood Dolfan, Agent J 78, the big brickk, Shauny, Phintastic,
  • How many offensive snaps will Tim Tebow play? 5; the big brickk (4), Bamaphinphan (6)
  • Who will lead the Dolphins in receptions this week? Brian Hartline and Davone Bess (4 each); Kevin Nogle (Bess), Hollywood Dolfan (Bess), azchadphin4life (Hartline), dolfan52 (BEss), MartinH04 (Bess), MUHerd84 (Bess), Bamaphinphan (Hartline), HuskerDolphin (Bess), boca_phin_fan (Bess), the big brickk (Bess), Phintastic (Bess), Dakota Phan (Bess)
  • What will be Ryan Tannehill's passer rating this week? 50.4; mighty08 (78.4)
  • Who will win and what will be the final score? (2 Point question) Miami 30-9; Shauny (Miami 24-6)
  • Which means, we have a tie this week. The big brickk answered three question correctly, while Shauny answered two, but got the two point question, giving him three points and a share of the win this week. Congratulations to both!

    Now, this week's questions:

  • Which team will have more passing yards, the Colts or the Dolphins?
  • How many rushing yards will Reggie Bush have this week?
  • How many receiving yards will NFL leader Reggie Wayne have this week?
  • How many total turnovers will their be in today's game?
  • Who will win and what will be the final score?
  • Here is the template to make things a little easier for you. Just copy and past this into the body of your comment:

    Which team will have more passing yards?
    Reggie Bush's rushing yards total will be:
    Reggie Wayne's receiving yards total will be:
    How many total turnovers will there be today?

    Here are my predictions:

    Reggie Bush's rushing yards total will be: 127
    Reggie Wayne's receiving yards total will be: 86
    How many total turnovers will there be today? 3
