2024 schedule

[LennG]

So, the wait is almost over. This Wednesday, the 2024 schedule will be released and we can see when and where we are playing whom.
Let's hope we do not begin, for the umpteenth time, against Dallas. Please, give us a break. 

It has been announced that the opening regular season game will be Chiefs/Ravens rematch of the AFC championship game and then the Eagles play the Packers on the following night from Brazil.  (only on Peacock, except in GB and Philly).

So, who do we open against?

[EDjohnst1981]

Dallas starts against the Browns per Fox Sports, so it won't be them.

Bet you they start us off against the Eagles this time.

[Brooklyn Dave]

Bet you they start us off against the Eagles this time.

The Eagles are playing the Packers in Brazil following the Ravens-Chiefs openung night so it won't be the Eagles

[MightyGiants]

I would like to see the Giants face the Commanders early.  They added a lot of talent and it would be nice to face them before they have a chance to fully gel

[Philosophers]

Giants are not on any national spotlight as a rising team deemed worthy to watch.  My bet is a similar type team.

For what it is worth, the Giants "Strength of Schedule" Ranks #6 in terms of "toughness" at 0.516.

Every team's Strength of Schedule

In the NFC East:

Giants: T#6 (0.516)
Cowboys: T#12 (0.505)
Commanders: T#16 (0.502)
Eagles: T#21 (0.491)

As if the Giants don't have their work cut out for them within their own walls. But, that's your reward for finishing third in your division.

Whiskey tango foxtrot, over?

 

Peace!

Makes no sense to me. Our team stinks and yet our schedule is harder than teams who are clearly better.

Makes no sense to me. Our team stinks and yet our schedule is harder than teams who are clearly better.

The main reason is our division. We play the Cowpukes and the Iggles twice each so our strength of schedule is harder than the said Cowpukles and Iggles as they play the weak-assed Giants twice.

This used to be my 3rd favorite day of the year.  But now, I can't really plan or think about which games I want to attend until I have my kid's activity schedule for the fall.  So, now it is just a tease.

14 of the 17 games are pre-determined.  The other 3 are based on how you finish in your division.

[H-Town G-Fan]

Schedule is released.

Rough stretch early on with Cleveland, Dallas, Seattle, Cincinnati, and Philly over a five-week span. Need to start strong against Minnesota and Washington then carve out 2-3 wins from that difficult portion to have a realistic shot down the stretch.

Thanks Lenn and H-Town!

[bamagiantfan]

They could start out 3-0, but 3-5 also looks possible. A lot of winnable games on the back end. It will be interesting. 

How many more days until the first kickoff?

If this is true, it's about as good as it gets.
