One of the more surprising teams in the NFL so far is the Miami Dolphins. Although Miami made the playoffs a year ago, they lost quarterback Ryan Tannehill to injury in the preseason and brought Jay Cutler out of retirement to replace him.
The most surprising thing about the Dolphins, however, is their record compared to their point splits. They have averaged just 15.3 points per game — second-worst in the NFL — while allowing 18.7 to opponents; however, they somehow find themselves at 4-2 on the season, vastly out-performing their expected record of 2.
