Pick<\/strong> – Nap, maybe go out to catch a game. (4-3)<\/p>\nWeek 9: Nov. 8 \u2014 Giants at Philadelphia Eagles<\/p>\n
Can the Giants beat the Eagles in Philly? It\u2019s definitely possible and will come down to how their offensive line plays with Stoutland U closed up. The Eagles could (will?) also be without A.J. Brown and his impact on defensive structure. Makai Lemon could be a real threat, but he doesn\u2019t have the size or speed of Brown, and that could make running the ball much tougher. It\u2019s also worth noting that John Harbaugh is 5-0 coming off of bye weeks over the last five seasons and he\u2019s been stressing that the Giants are building to beat the Eagles.<\/p>\n
Week 10: Nov. 12 \u2014 Giants vs. Commanders (TNF)<\/p>\n
The Giants show up to get their revenge in primetime at home. I think the Giants are the more talented team, and that will show itself in the rematch, especially on a short turnaround from the previous week.<\/p>\n
Week 11: Nov. 22 \u2014 Giants vs. Jacksonville Jaguars<\/p>\n
The Jaguars didn\u2019t really add anything to their starting offense and defense beyond comitting to make Travis Hunter a full-time corner. However, they did add quite a bit of depth this year and they were a 13-win team last year. They might take a modest step back in Liam Coen\u2019s second season, but this is going to be a tough game for the Giants.<\/p>\n
Week 12: Nov. 29 \u2014 Giants at Indianapolis Colts<\/p>\n
Just how much will Daniel Jones have after a neck injury (2021), torn ACL (2023), and now ruptured Achilles (2025)?<\/p>\n
Even before Jones was hurt in 2025, he went into a tailspin once the Pittsburgh Steelers committed to taking away the play action and RPO plays upon which the Colts\u2019 defense was built last year. Can the Giants replicate that if Jones is healthy? And would it even matter with all the talent on that Colts\u2019 roster? The Giants keep up on offense, and their hyper-athletic linebackers do enough against Tyler Warren, Jonathan Taylor, and Jones.<\/p>\n
Week 13: Dec. 6 \u2014 Giants vs. San Francisco 49ers<\/p>\n
The 49ers are a tough team to figure right now. Their core is aging and they could be stumbling as the weather turns cold. However, if Mike Evans, Chris McCaffrey, George Kittle, and the rest of those guys are healthy, Kyle Shanahan\u2019s EPA machine will keep humming right along.<\/p>\n
This is a game to circle as a potential upset win if the Giants are competitive and closing out games at this point in the year. But I\u2019m<\/p>\n
Week 14: Dec. 13 \u2014 Giants at Seattle Seahawks<\/p>\n
I can\u2019t predict the Giants to go into the reigning Super Bowl Champions\u2019 house and beat them. The Seahawks have too much and Mike MacDonald is too good. This might be a good game, but I don\u2019t see the Giants coming back from Seattle with a victory.<\/p>\n
Week 15: Dec. 20 \u2014 Giants vs. Cleveland Browns<\/p>\n
Once again: Who will be playing quarterback for the Browns? Will it be Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders, Dillon Gabriel, or Taylen Green? The Browns still have Myles Garrett and did a really good job with their draft this year, but they\u2019ll go precisely as far as their quarterback can take them. I\u2019m not sure that group can take them anywhere else but the highly-anticipated 2027 QB class.<\/p>\n
Week 16: Dec. 28 \u2014 Giants at Detroit Lions (MNF)<\/p>\n
The schedule makers did the Giants a favor by giving them the 49ers, Seahawks, and Lions in December. Those are all mature teams and attrition could wear them down by this point. The Giants never trailed in regulation against the Lions last year, and that was without Jaxson Dart, Malik Nabers, and Cam Skattebo. I\u2019m expecting the Giants to win one of these December games as an underdog, and this one might be the most likely.<\/p>\n
Week 17: Jan. 3 \u2014 Giants at Cowboys<\/p>\n
It\u2019s fair to expect that Dallas will figure out some new and interesting way to collapse late in the year. However I\u2019m not going to expect their offense to fall off as long as Dak, CeeDee, and Pickens are healthy. Likewise, Christian Parker\u2019s defense should be in a better place than they were in Week 1. And even if the Cowboys were mid-collapse, we should still expect them to stumble backwards into playing the Giants hard and splitting the season.<\/p>\n
Week 18: TBD \u2014 Giants vs. Eagles<\/p>\n
I have my doubts as to how well the Eagles will hold together without Jeff Stoutland coaching the offensive and with A.J. Brown \u2014 eventually \u2014 departing. Asking Saquon Barkley to create more yards for himself and shoulder more of the load could lead to injuries by the second week of 2027. It\u2019d be foolish to expect any game in the NFC East to be \u201ceasy\u201d and the Giants could be trying to return to prominence just as the NFC East returns to being the NFC BEAST and the best division in football. But I\u2019m going pick the Giants to finally sweep the Eagles.<\/p>\n
I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if this game is for a ticket to the playoffs and perhaps even the NFC East title itself\u2026 Or if that \u201cTBD\u201d winds up being a primetime game.<\/p>\n
Is predicting a 10-7 record optimistic for a team that finished 4-13 the year before? Certainly, at least on the face of it. However, the Giants had double-digit leads as underdogs fivetimes last year, only to blow them late in the game. Had the Giants not blown those leads, we\u2019d be talking about a team that went 9-7 with a rookie quarterback and without their best receiver and running back.<\/p>\n
In that case, predicting that Jaxson Dart\u2019s development, the return of Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo, and the additions of Arvell Reese, Francis Mauigoa, Colton Hood, and (most importantly) John Harbaugh would only amount to onemore win actually feels pretty conservative.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll find out this year whether better coaching with more attention to detail and accountability from the top down will make the difference in closing games out when the Giants get the chance.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m going to repeat a prediction from last year: The Giants will be a team that opponents dread facing down the stretch. I think they\u2019ll surprise folks who chalk them up as the same old hapless Giants early in the year, and be competitive with the NFL\u2019s best once everything gels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We finally have the New York Giants 2026 schedule in hand.
