what is your prediction for the Giants win total for the 2023 season
BONUS QUESTION- Do they make the playoffs, and if yes how far do they go?
12
floor = 10
ceiling = 13
NFC Championship
10 regular season wins (10-7)... wildcard berth.
Lose a close game in the divisional round (one playoff win again)

I like this approach (but I will answer my question).
Last year I thought the floor was top 5 in the 2023 draft and the wildcard was the ceiling.
This year I put the Super Bowl as the ceiling with being the best team to miss the playoffs as the floor
My prediction is 11 wins
NFC Championship game

Winning it all versus not making the playoffs is a fairly wide range MG! Seems like you have almost all outcomes covered there!
:laugh:
10
8 (due to high number of injuries)
11
1 playoff win

I think it tracks with my "biggest concerns" thread. So many of the key players on this team have significant injury histories including
Daniel Jones
Saquon Barkley
Andrew Thomas
Darren Waller
Sterling Shepard
Parris Campbell
Azeez Ojulari
Adoree Jackson
The health of those players will go a long way in determining this team's ultimate success
7 to 9 wins but much more competitive against the stronger teams.
11 Wins
Floor 9 Wins
Playoffs #2 in NFCE
NFCCG possible

This!
Beat the Cowboys - 12 wins
Lose to the Cowboys - 7 wins
I think we go 11-6 and YES we go to the playoffs. We make it to the divisional round
17-0
11-6, playoffs for sure
11-6 and go to the playoffs. Win divisional round but lose a heartbreaker [last minute FG] in NFC championship . . GO GIANTS.
So far, not a single person here sees fewer than 10 wins (including myself), and the official over/under is 7.5. Must be a Giants fan board!
BTW I understand how over/unders work and that they're not a prediction but rather a setting designed to attract equal action on both sides. It still shows what the public broadly thinks though.

Maybe I should reverse my prediction to 6-11. Sadly we may not even win 6 games
Still sticking with 7-8 wins and missing the playoffs. Even after last night I think this is a better team on paper but facing a tougher schedule.

I was using the Cowboys game as a barometer of how far they've progressed, so 7 wins it is

You must have me blocked since I said less then 10 and you never respond when I comment about your posts.
Oh well I do agree with most of your comments..

(1) My bad on missing your sub 10 win prediction.
(2) I do not intentionally avoid your posts. If that has been the case or seemed like the case it is happenstance and not intentional. Please don't take any offense.
I am guilty of frequently skimming some threads due to time constraints and sometimes I definitely miss stuff. Wasn't intentional.

Some very encouraging rookies were drafted but they will have a learning curve.
Waller is certainly an upgrade and Campbell over James but after that it's the same group of vets and under achieving sophomores.
I've consistently said that they would be slightly worse than last year. 8-9 is my official prediction.
AS of now....if someone from the future told me we would be 1-16 at the end of the season. Sadly I would believe it.
2-14
