With the NFL officially unveiling the schedules for the upcoming season, the New York Giants are gearing up for a demanding slate of games. Set to kick off their campaign against the Minnesota Vikings at home on September 8th, the Giants are bracing themselves for a rigorous season ahead.
Featuring three prime-time matchups and an international game in Germany, the Giants’ schedule is anything but a walk in the park. Ranked as the sixth-hardest in the league, their opponents boast a combined win percentage of .516 from the previous year. Here are three particularly daunting matchups on the Giants’ agenda for the upcoming season.
Week 15 vs Baltimore Ravens
Highlighted as one of the toughest matchups on the Giants’ schedule, the Week 15 clash against the Baltimore Ravens looms large. The Ravens, fresh off a disappointing AFC championship game defeat to the Kansas City Chiefs, are expected to be fueled by a desire for redemption. This late-season encounter could prove pivotal for the Giants’ playoff aspirations, given its formidable nature and timing.
Week 4 vs Dallas Cowboys
A divisional showdown against the Dallas Cowboys at home in Week 4 presents a formidable challenge for the Giants. The Cowboys, perennial playoff contenders, aim to bounce back from a humbling defeat to the Green Bay Packers. Historically, Dallas has held the upper hand against New York, boasting a stout defense led by stars like Micah Parsons and Trevon Diggs, along with a potent offense featuring Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott.
Week 7 vs Philadelphia Eagles
As the Philadelphia Eagles visit MetLife Stadium in Week 7, the Giants brace themselves for a stern test. Facing their divisional rivals, the Giants must contend with a motivated Eagles team fresh off a playoff appearance. With key players like Saquon Barkley returning to face his former team, the Eagles pose a significant challenge to New York’s aspirations. The Giants must deliver a top-notch performance to emerge victorious in this crucial divisional matchup.
