Molly telling someone to not interrupt lmao
She always do
“A lot of talking and not enough listening Stephen A”
Molly been on the show for like 8 years now
@@ckqcool fact. Thanks.
@@aricanderson367 yeah she always interiors like she’s not a moderator
Jeff salty of the Vikings ever since he blew a 33-0 lead to them. Chiefs have not looked better than the Vikings. That will probably change but as of right now they haven’t played better that’s just a fact.
Well the chiefs have a legit qb the Vikings don’t …
@@Stxpv697 wow great analysis yes mahomes is better than Darnold. You also need to learn how to read. It’s not about last year it’s about as it is rn and the Vikings have played better than the chiefs and Darnold has been better than mahomes to this point. Obviously that won’t last but we’re talking about as it is right now.
@@Stxpv697 legit but they should be 0-3 this season with out refs help!
@@Stxpv697you a cIøwn😂😂
😂😂😭😭 I forgot about that
Mad dog lost me on this one. This list is for THIS season not LAST season. Ain't no way I'm putting the chiefs at number 1 over Buffalo or two over Minnesota
Yeah the Chiefs the SB favorites this year
Ain't nobody putting the Chiefs at three just because they had two off putting performances. It's fine to put them at #2 because they're winning games, but having them at three over the Vikings is just dumb lol
@@ckq ok, but even Mahommes admits that they are not playing to that level...yet.
chiefs beat bills or vikings if they played this week.

@@brayonbeckles4254 The Chiefs played the first 2 weeks against teams without a win and then the Falcons lol
Really solid list tbh
Fr💪🏽
From what we've seen, I think this list is correct.
Not at all it’s literally just the final 5 3-0 teams in the league and Seattle isn’t that good they had week 1 bo nix into patriots week 2 which they won by 1 point into SKYLAR THOMPSON DOLPHINS 😂😂😂
A+
f f f
We’re just going with 3-0 teams? Saquon catches that ball and eagles would be top 3 lol
If we are doing ifs u can make alot of changes but I still have eagles at 3 in my list
But he didn’t…so they’re 2-1. And barely beat the saints.
If Goedert was covered they’d be 1-2, what u talkin bout 😂
@@KrisGarland as long as they below the Vikes and Bills I dont hate it
@@dominicannoreno3674 without AJ Brown and lost Devonta smith and lane Johnson and Slay lmao.

Anyone who plays qb at Minnesota lucky they have a top 3 wr lol
minnesota doesn't have better defense than the chiefs
@@redskinsftw dude why
@@blizzz. you have not watch min games like at all KC fan boy
@@Lambcooking I’m not dissing the Viking I just didn’t expect them to start off this good tbh but they have a solid defense fs
A- list
This show is so much better when everyone is laughing and having a good time. The list was decent, I would take Seattle off and replace them at 4 with the Steelers, and my 5 would be New Orleans. NO has the 2nd most points scored, and allowed the 4th least so far. Have to include them, though I don't think they will keep it up
I'm so tired of the Chiefs D being swallowed for no reason. I get it, they won the super bowl last year. That was LAST YEAR. 2024, they are not looking anywhere near as good as the Vikings. A lot can change throughout the season for sure but as of right now MIN is just looking like the better team
@@whatup6557 yeah ikr kc fan boys
the chiefs defense is the reason they are 3-0, they are legit probably the best in the entire league. spags is the goat defensive coordinator
No one believes the Vikings would beat the Chiefs if they played tomorrow.
@@will-zj5gqVikings have a better defense less allowed points.
@@drdurdenThey absolutely would beat them 9 times out of 10 this year.
Bills haven’t played anyone.
That’s not they’re fault. Theyre the clear 1 rn

Seahawks and steelers never on the list,vikings nope,Bills nope. 3-0 there on the list.
Talking like he picked them all to be there.
What a crock of ish........
My top 5:
1. Chiefs
2. Ravens
3. Eagles
4. Bills
5. Niners
Better then his list a least
bills should not be below the ravens and eagles also the 49ers should not be on this list.
@@jacoblord2251 good thing it’s my list
Stay off the weed. Bills have looked the best. Got 2 teams above them with losses
The Ravens are 1-2 and barely beat the 1-2 Cowboys. Bills are 3-0 and how blown out every team and Josh Allen is the mvp so far. What are you smoking?
@@showtimecov2342 bills are not the best. They played a non Tua team and a pats team in those wins
I need to pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming. Stephen A showed my Vikings some love.
Now they definitely losing this weekend😂😂
@chasetullar2732 lol I know right
1.Bills 2. Chiefs 3.vikings4.steelers5 Seahawks
Vikings and Bills should probably be 1 and 2. Chiefs obviously are the defending champs, but vikings and bills have been steamrolling teams whereas the chiefs haven't.
Bills shouldn't even be top 5. They are playing kids
@@limitedbom2206 facts 100%
@@MikkiChavez let’s see how they do on Sunday with Lamar and the ravens but the bills look good 👍 and playing with fun and excitement and thas a good sign
Lions over Vikings
SF or Seattle when SF gets healthy
The Bills are blowing everyone out? They played bad teams. The Vikings are blowing everyone out. If not for Aaron Jones' fumbling at the 1 yard line, they would have blown out the 49ers as well. They are dominating every team and not bad teams like the Bills.
Molly looking good to eat
🤣💯
Not gonna lie Molly don't miss. She looks fine asf every episode. I'm sorry I had to say it.
If Molly could stand/sit there and just look hot, she'd be a fan favorite of everyone. But she has to open her yap and interrupt a Football conversation as if she knows what she's talking about....smh.
🔥🔥🔥 every time & mfs be talking bout she need 2 go 😑 niggas weird
The Vikings beat the 49ers who were a great team last year according to doggy’s logic
I think Doggy is just talking because he said he wouldn’t put Seahawks because they beat Jacoby Brisset and Miami with no Tua but then says he’d put Jets ont he list who’ve beaten Will Levis and also Jacoby Brisset😂😂😂
Vikings beat GOOD TEAMS.
Jeff Saturday is just salty about losing when up 33-0
Chiefs have won 9 games in a row and hasn't lost since last Christmas and these guys don't even know it lol
Didn’t realize games from LAST year affect THIS season lol 😂😂
@@SkyRice420 they are when they are the defending champs
Bro I swear Molly b tryin get Stephan a mad on purpose 😂😂😂😂😂
Y'all really just hating on the Seahawks, lmao
Bills vs Vikings in this year or next year's superbowl
This year would be a possibility 'cause we don't know how McCarthy will fare next season.
I’m a Vikings fan. It’s week three going into week four. The Vikings in this moment, are better than the Chiefs. Do I think that will last? No. The Chiefs have done a great job in not beating themselves and letting the other team make mistakes to capitalize the games. I think about it like this: if ghost two teams played today, who would win? The Vikings would beat the Chiefs today, and the bills would also beat the Chiefs today. They are better teams for right now. That doesn’t change the fact that I still think that the Chiefs will inevitably come together come late in the season, and win it all.
if you think sam darnold would beat patrick mahomes you are an idiot
I totally agree, I think most people are missing Steven’s list on grading teams. He’s not grading them by their past or by what they will be eventually in the future, he’s grading them by their performance on the recent game they played. And if u go by that criteria, this is an A list. All the team in his top 5 are undefeated, and they played better than the supposedly top teams in the future like eagles, niners and so on
Manifest Vikings vs Bills Super Bowl 59 🙏🏽
Never thought I'd see the day where I was in Agreement with Stephen A Smith about anything.
His point about the Vikings and Chiefs is valid.
Also his comment about Week-To-Week rankings is also valid.
Mad Dog is out to lunch with his "you got to at least take into account last year" and I'm like "Does Russo know what the term WEEK-TO-WEEK means?"
Also him putting the JETS there? GTFO of here.
Jets are solid but they're nowhere NEAR what Minny is or any of these teams for that matter.
I can't wait until NEXT WEEK in London when the Vikings annihilate the Jets.
Geno Smith and Sam Darnold are lessons in not throwing all these guys away just because they get drafted to laughably inept franchises.
As a Seahawks and Vikings fan, I AM LOVING THIS!
Chiefs are undefeated since Christmas 9-0 LOL
I'm glad my Seahawks are on that list
Vikings would beat the chiefs rn
They’d just turn back into the Vikings
I think it'd be a nail biter. Chiefs are taking away the best option on each team which is why they're getting ripped up by no name tight ends.
Bijan had 31 on 19.
Chase had 35 with 4.
Flowers had 37 with 6.
They'd attempt the same thing with Jefferson.
I get it your defense is good but we're also talking about the guy that made one of the best defenses of the last ten years look pedestrian in the AFCCG last year. If you're only going by this year's stats then sure but that's you gambling on Mahomes actually continuing to play worse than Sam Darnold. That could be true when the end of the year comes around but it's a pretty big gamble.
@@Jose94000 Then it's a good thing the Vikings are going to get TJ Hockenson (A NOT-no name Tight End) back.
The Vikings ain’t beat the chiefs stop it
no they wouldnt sam darnold has no chance of outplaying patrick mahomes
Molly nice sense of humour 🇺🇸
Bills Chiefs >> Rest
Molly and them legs 😊❤
Finally a solid list
Great show
Geno 💛💙💛💙💛💙
Molly soo fiiiiiine
Minnesota would smack tf outta KC this season
you cant blow out kc you have to win a close game to beat them
I would take Kansas City off and put Detroit or Green Bay
kansas city should NEVER be off the list
Bills have played ZERO COMPETITION
Jones Edward Williams Gary Davis Shirley
Molloy never stops talking
I’ll argue that CURRENTLY the Vikings are top. Bills demolished the Jags? Jags were an 0-2 team. That win should be treated the same as what everyone was saying when the Vikings beat the Giants.
And YES, the Vikings are better than the Chiefs currently.
0:12, Stephen A. and Mad Dog Russo are timeless GOLD! to watch💯
Mad dog is a national treasure 😂
Christmas come WAY too early for Vikes. Josh copycatting Patrick when we lost Tyreek.
He STILL gonna choke in clutch time playoffs.
With justin fields playing decent now.......wtf is wrong with Chicago? Many teams are just messed up!
Mad Dog “WHERE ARE THE JETS?!”
Give it a few months, Mad Dog. You’ll be asking where they are when the playoffs start 😂
Chiefs could be 10-0 and they would still find some stupid reason to not have them #1. It's okay though, they will get the recognition when they 3-peat.
Molly Qerim is always annoying by interrupting everybody.
lol, who did the Bills and Vikings beat? KC, while not looking incredible, beat the Bengals and Baltimore, both elite teams despite their record. And both those teams played their A-game against them. And STILL LOST
Molly : "You're getting Defensive"
Me : "Of course he is, Molly. He's got two idiots using BS criteria as reasons to trash his very REASONABLE list"
Minnesota would smoke Kansas City if they played next week on a neutral field.
No they would not
@@daquaylenavie3740 Chiefs almost lost all 3 of their games. If the Refs stayed out of the game the vikings win easily. Minnesota handled the 49ers, and smoked the Texans. Chiefs are barely winning games versus worse opponents.
@@N00BT00B411 that’s cool and I will still take KC for the simple fact I don’t trust Sam darnold
@@daquaylenavie3740 lmao Mahomes has more picks in 1 game than darnold has all year. Darnold also has more TD passes. Keep sleeping on the Vikings tho. We don't need refs to win.
"Stop talking Stephen A, let him talk!"
How ironic, lmfao
Explain to me how last year matters in this poll. Huh? if that's the case where's SF? Chiefs beat the 0-3 Bengals, 1-2 (should have been 0-3 Falcons) and the 1-2 Pats, huh?
Everyone’s top 3 going into this year- KC,SF, Houston. I’d say the team that has already smoked two of those 3 should be on top
Chiefs should not be past 3 he got it right they’re smoking AND if Vikings were facing the Chiefs this week I’m taking the Vikings
For now, I think this list is fine. Time will tell. Coaching is a big factor in these teams maintaining their rankings. Andy Reid and Mike Tomlin cannot be knocked as they have been in the league too long, and O'Connell is bringing a lot of fresh energy to the North, but the Seahawks have a rookie and the Bills' coach is like quicksand, which is where the Bills' Super Bowl aspirations have ended up every year he has coached them.
I expect that there will be consistency in what KC and Pittsburgh have been doing, Seattle will have setbacks and may not even make the playoffs, Buffalo will be similar to last year in that they will have a mid-season slump, and as for Minnesota, that team is the most unpredictable.
The way they look now they could go 17-0 and then they definitely will not win the Super Bowl, but they may be humbled Sunday at Green Bay. The injury bug that hit them last year may rear its ugly head again, or, for all we know, they may avenge their 1st Super Bowl loss by winning it all against the Chefs. After throttling Houston and nearly doing the same to San Francisco, my prediction is that they will claim the North, barring injuries, win at least one or two playoff games, then in all likelihood fall short in either spectacular (2017 @ Philadelphia, 7-38) or heartbreaking (2009 @ New Orleans, 28-31 OT) fashion.
Close to a perfect list. The chiefs are surviving right now, they shouldn't be 1.
I’ll never understand how/why Stephen A. smith has made a career being an absolute clown. Worst character in all of sports in the entire world.
I think this list is super fair. I think Jeff and Mad Dog are thinking "if the chiefs played any of these teams" in which yea 99 percent of people are betting on the chiefs, but its based on how teams have played, not will and i think cause of that, Stephen A gets an A lol
Pittsburgh hasn’t played a 2024 playoff team yet. Let’s hold the brakes on them
Dude just picked the 5 unbeaten teams so far lol
Ravens? Eagles? Lions? Even the Commanders deserve a shout.
Honestly was a good list but it’s ridiculous rep put Vikings over the chiefs lol
How did Stephen A become so popular by yelling at you, it's so obnoxious.
Molly there for this shows ratings....nothing else.
Thank you StephenA. They hating on ya lost but it’s pretty good.
Pretty good list. The top three are debatable. Bills looks best with 10 straight solid quarters, but KC has had a harder schedule. Vikings are all around solid, able to put up points and not allow much on D. Seahawks have had 3 softballs, not worthy yet. Steelers have only allowed 2 TD's in 3 games, solid. Lions are debatable too. They beat LAR at home in OT, lost to TB at home and beat AZ by a touchdown.
Chiefs
Bills
Vikings
Steelers
Lions
Mad dog is wrong, I give Stephen a A-...good list...talking as a Steeler fan.
Finally giving the vikings some love. Thank you !!
Only chief fans believe they won every game but every body knows chief wins because of PI
They're not getting the "context' of the question..Saturday made abit of sense but Stephen is right..
Chiefs are undefeated because of the mistakes and errors from their opponents- not undefeated because of their own dominance
This list is a straight A you'll just tripping..the viking beat the niners and the texans not just beat them took them to the woodshed..and you'll up here talking about the chiefs who barley wins every week 😂😂😂😂😂
Vikings have played good football? Huh no wonder he not a coach no more!
The bengals always getting robbed when they play the chiefs every year the nfl robs the bengals every year
I can't do espn anymore. SAS and Mad dog are insufferable.
Seahawks 4?! Is he serious. The Dolphins defense hammered them. Most QBs with that offense would have made the game competitive and maybe stolen it
Vikings and Bills could be in the Super Bowl
Best QB is Mahomes and KC Chiefs are the still best team in the NFL here is why they beat very good teams, not like buffalo against some lousy teams or Vikings are you kidding me. LOL
I had the same list except I had the Vikings below the chiefs. A-
So here is the thing. The chiefs have underperformed and are undefeated. The bills and Vikings are playing as good as they can play. Eventually we should assume the chiefs will figure it out so until they lose they should be the favorites.
His list really on point, call me bias but I would put my steelers ahead of Seahawks
I genuinely want to know why ESPN and Stephen A haven’t tried to find a new moderator to replace Molly for first take
Everytime Molly stands up in the frame she’s just staring at herself the entire time 😂🤦🏾♂️ she’s hot but man those are the ones you have to watch out for 💯
Power rankings in the first 3 weeks is definitely based on last year especially if the defending champs haven’t lost a game yet.. if I’m not mistaken, they’re undefeated
Molly always trying to be someone mother meanwhile she always talking over someone.
I just can't stand this showboat, such an annoying personality
Can they please replace Molly? She so annoying bruh
So basically all undefeated teams
Steven is just a band wagoner! You can tell he doesnt know much about sports!
Number one should be the Carolina Panthers. Panthers superbowl champions this year.
Bills are definitely number 4. There beat easy teams watch this list go away in the next few weeks. Bills have a tough schedule now. Now will see. Vikings are beating great teams. They are number one
Molly is the worst part of the show every single day
