The NFL released their schedules for all 32 teams, thus giving us, as Giants fans, a glimpse of what may be coming for this upcoming season.
Here’s my prediction for their season, game by game.
Week One: Home vs. Dallas (W, 1-0)
I think this is the year that this rivalry truly becomes competitive again.
It should be a close game, and I believe the hyped-up crowd helps get the Giants a win on Sunday Night Football.
Week Two: at Arizona (W, 2-0)
Simply put, I do not think the Cardinals are very good.
This should be an easier one for big blue.
Week Three: at San Francisco (L, 2-1)
This is where it gets tricky.
The 49ers are a great team, and the Giants will struggle with them on the road.
Week Four: Home vs. Seattle (W, 3-1)
Revenge game from last year.
As an Illini, though, I’ll be cheering for Witherspoon.
Week Five: at Miami (L, 3-2)
Miami’s receivers might have a field day with rookie Deonte Banks.
Week Six: at Buffalo (L, 3-3)
The Bills are the best team in football.
This being a road game, is just adding salt to the wound.
Week Seven: vs. Washington (W, 4-3)
These games are ALWAYS close.
Sam Howell at QB creates a nice advantage for the Giants, though.
Week Eight: Home vs. Jets (L, 4-4)
This hurts to say, but this is a tough one for the Giants.
That Jets’ defense will be elite.
Week Nine: at Las Vegas (W, 5-4)
The Raiders will be a nice pickup for a Giants team hungry to get back on track.
Week Ten: at Dallas (L, 5-5)
It’s hard to beat a divisional opponent twice, incredibly one as talented as the Cowboys.
Week Eleven: at Washington (W, 6-5)
The Commanders can’t hang with us this year.
Week Twelve: vs. New England (W, 7-5)
Hopefully, this new regime will have the same success as the past against the Pats.
It could be a low-scoring cold-weather game.
Week Thirteen: vs. Green Bay (W, 8-5)
This could be an intense stretch for the Giants, and this could be an easier one if Jordan Love is no good.
Week Fourteen: at New Orleans (W, 9-5)
The Saints could be a solid team, but the Giants will be rolling in with momentum on both sides of the ball.
Week Fifteen: at Philly (L, 9-6)
Have to be realistic here; the Giants still have plenty of holes.
Week Sixteen: vs. Rams (W, 10-6)
The Rams have really fallen off. I do not see them taking another step forward this season.
Week Seventeen: vs. Philly (L, 10-7)
Hopefully, this is much like last year, when it’s a meaningless game for the Giants because they have clinched. The Eagles are, as of now, the better team, though.
FINAL
Final record, 10-7.
An improved year for the Giants, and more to build upon for the future. Another solid offseason and the Giants could have something truly special.
