Vikings Power Rankings Roundup: Where all the experts rank the Vikings after Week 4

The Minnesota Vikings are coming off a big win on the road against the Green Bay Packers and now stand as the only team in the NFC with an undefeated record. In fact, the purple and gold are one of only two undefeated teams in the league, with the Kansas City Chiefs being the other.

For a team with literally no expectations entering the season, the Vikings are a force that can no longer be ignored. Wins over the 49ers, Texans, and Packers (all playoff teams from last season) have opened the eyes of experts and analysts.

Each week, experts and analysts rank all 32 teams in power rankings and it has been fun watching Minnesota climb from the depths of those charts to find themselves among the NFL's elite teams with each passing victory.

Where all the experts rank the Vikings after Week 4

The Minnesota Vikings are a hot topic among experts and analysts. While some are buying into Sam Darnold and company being serious contenders, others seem to be waiting for what they believe will be an epic collapse.

Those polarizing perspectives are definitely apparent in the most recent power rankings. Here is where some of the most notable publications believe Minnesota belongs when compared to the rest of the league:

Ranked No. 1

- The Athletic, Josh Kendall|
- New York Times, Josh Kendall
- NFL.com, Eric Edholm

Ranked No. 2

- Bleacher Report, NFL Staff
- CBS Sports, Pete Prisco
- ESPN, NFL Nation
- New York Post, Ryan Dunleavy
- Sporting News, Vinnie Iyer
- USA Today, Nate Davis
- Yahoo! Sports, Frank Schwab

Ranked No. 3

- Pro Football Talk, Mike Florio
- Sports Illustrated, Conor Orr

As you can see, most experts beleve the Minnesota Vikings are one of the league's best teams with a few of them even putting them at the top of their power rankings heading into Week 5 of the 2024 NFL season.

Minnesota could make a huge statement by defeating the New York Jets on Sunday in the U.K. to enter their bye week undefeated. A win over Aaron Rodgers and company would guarantee the Vikings an undefeated record going into Week 7 against the Detroit Lions at U.S. Bank Stadium.

Can the Minnesota Vikings continue to find ways to win each week or will they soon find themselves tumbling down the power rankings? Only time will tell.
