Bart Was The Best is pumpkin pie: sweet, satisfying, and always welcome at the table, but missing that extra touch to make it truly elite. At 14-10 with a 56% playoff chance, they’ve shown moments of brilliance, but injuries have made consistency elusive. Justin Jefferson is the pumpkin filling—smooth, dependable, and the clear star—but with Rashee Rice sidelined for weeks, the team has lacked the supporting cast needed to dominate. Jordan Mason has stepped in to fill the gaps, but it hasn’t been enough to push this team over the top. A 7% championship chance shows they’re still in the mix, but they’ll need every piece to click for a deep playoff run.

Rated Eks is the dinner rolls you were looking forward to but ended up flat and underwhelming. At 8-16 with no playoff chances, they’ve had their moments but failed to live up to expectations.

Frank’s Spank Bank is the gravy boat that tipped over, making a mess but still adding some flavor to the meal. At 7-17, they’ve had a chaotic season, with moments of brilliance overshadowed by inconsistency. Kirk Cousins has been the steady hand in an otherwise shaky lineup, while Cooper Kupp brings flashes of greatness that can’t always make up for the gaps. They’re out of the playoff hunt, but they’ve caused enough chaos to make things interesting for other teams. Like gravy, they’ve been messy, unpredictable, and occasionally essential to the drama of the season. With the playoffs out of reach, they’re still here to make sure no one gets an easy path to the finish. 

Dak Picks is the mac and cheese that you expected to be a highlight but turned out to be just okay. At 6-18, this team struggled to live up to their potential, despite having stars like Tua Tagovailoa and Derrick Henry in the mix. They’ve shown flashes of brilliance, but inconsistency and bad breaks have derailed their season. You wanted that rich, gooey perfection, but instead, you got something that’s just fine.

Like a disappointing mac and cheese, they leave you wondering what could have been with just a little more effort. 

Powderhoundmals is that sad Tupperware container of leftover turkey from last week’s feast—overlooked, underwhelming, and just kind of… there. At 4-20 with no playoff chances, they’ve been relegated to the back of the fridge, waiting for a moment that may never come. Jordan Love has shown some flashes, like when you open the container and remember turkey’s potential, but the spark hasn’t been enough to carry the team. Zay Flowers offers a bit of flair, but even his contributions feel like cranberry sauce that got lost in the shuffle—sweet but insufficient to save the meal. Every week is a fight for relevance, but the reality is clear: this team is playing out the season with little left to give. Like leftovers forgotten after the big day, Powderhoundmals has faded into the background, quietly waiting for next year to bring new opportunities.
