The harder side to back here is a Dolphins team starting Kyle McCord, who Ryan Kramer (@KramerCentric) called a first-time NFL starter, and Sean Green (@SeanTGreen) took the Dolphins +3.5 anyway. The Dolphins visit the Colts on Sunday, November 15 at 1:00 PM ET in Indianapolis, IN. The Colts were 3.5-point favorites with a total of 37.5 when the guys taped on November 11. Ryan laid the Colts -3.5 on the NFL Picks Week 10 episode.

Our Picks
- Ryan Kramer (@KramerCentric): Colts -3.5
- Sean Green (@SeanTGreen): Dolphins +3.5
Ryan set it up by noting that the Colts have traded away some pieces and don’t have much receiving talent right now. In his words, the Dolphins have entered full tank mode. Sean didn’t buy the tank talk. His case starts with Ollie Gordon, who he said runs hard and should have a good game against a Colts defense he called pretty bad. Sean also felt the Colts emptied the tank the week before, in what played like a goodbye to Jonathan Taylor. And he liked Kyle McCord in a dome after watching him look confident in the Packers’ preseason.
Sean said he couldn’t lay three and a half with the Colts. He pointed out that the Dolphins are 4-4 ATS and, by his read, cover in these spots. He sees the Dolphins running the ball in a field goal game and called a nice, ugly 17-14 final.
Ryan said that was exactly why the Colts are a great play. In his view the Dolphins have downgraded their quarterback situation and are going with a starter nobody expected to start games. He also thinks the Dolphins become a public dog for all the reasons Sean listed. And whatever worried the Colts about Jonathan Taylor while they shopped him is done now, so Ryan expects Taylor to have success again.
Sean pushed back by asking what trading away starter-caliber guys does to a locker room. Ryan answered that Jonathan Taylor and Daniel Jones are still in the building and called it a winnable game. He compared it to the part of the movie where a few heroes are left standing to fight the final bad guy, and he laid the three and a half.
