Let’s take a look at the Giants’ 2024 schedule.
3 Toughest Games
Week 13 in Dallas
Thanksgiving is supposed to be a day spent with family and friends, but if things go well for the Giants, this year’s holiday could be the day their heads are handed over in Arlington, Texas. The Giants have lost their last seven games at AT&T Stadium. The last win came in the 2016 season opener, Ben McAdoo’s head coaching debut. By the way, Dak Prescott is 12-2 all-time against the Giants, who have lost 13 of their last 14 games against the Boys. The Giants are 7-6-3 all-time on Thanksgiving.
Week 3 in Cleveland
Now that the resurgent and resilient Browns are back in contention, a trip to the Dawg Pound is no fun. They are coming off an 11-6 season and a playoff berth, with Deshaun Watson leading the physical offense. In 2023, the Giants were 2-7 on the road.
Week 18 in Philadelphia
Of all the NFL venues the Giants despise, Lincoln Financial Field stands out above all others. The Giants had lost their last 11 games at the rink, and the bus ride back to Jersey was tough. Will the end of this season have any impact on the playoffs for road teams? This is the third year in a row that the Giants will end the regular season with a game against the Birds.
3 easy games
Week 10 vs. Panthers
Giants rule the European continent. They are undefeated across the pond, 3-0 in regular season games in London and 1-0 in preseason games (back in 1994) in Berlin. This game in Munich is a home game for the Panthers at the Allianz Arena, home of the Bayern Munich soccer team, but Giants fans travel a lot, so this game will have a lot of Giants representatives in Germany. Dew.
Week 9 vs. Commanders
Washington has a franchise to thank for often being the only team keeping the Giants out of the basement of the NFC East. This is the only divisional opponent the Giants have been able to deal with recently, winning eight of the last 11 games in this series. Nearing the middle of the season, rookie quarterback Jaden Daniels is probably growing and getting better at navigating the NFL game. we will see.
Week 16 in Atlanta
The Falcons are coming off a 7-10 season and have a new head coach, Raheem Morris. They also have two new quarterbacks in Kirk Cousins and rookie Michael Penix Jr. After signing Cousins, the Falcons will select Penix in the first round of the 2024 draft, so there will likely be some debate late in the season over who starts. The $180 million contract was certainly shocking.
3 notable matches
Week 7 vs. Eagles
The return of Saquon Barkley. After multiple failed attempts to reach a contract agreement over the past year and a half, it wasn’t a huge shock when Barkley became a free agent. But Barkley flew out to the rival Eagles, and well, that was something. He ended up running behind a quality offensive line, trying to show what the Giants allowed down the stretch.
Week 8 in Pittsburgh
This will be the only time the Giants will appear on “Monday Night Football.” Last season, they hosted two Monday night games for the second time in MNF’s 54-year history, winning 24-22 against the Packers on Dec. 11 and ending their Monday night losing streak. stopped at 8. The Steelers have won three straight in four of their last five games against the Giants.
Week 17 vs. Colts
Are you interested in celebrating the Giants’ 100th season and festivities? If so, this game has great historical significance. His NFL championship game between Colts 23 and Giants 16, played at Yankee Stadium on December 28, 1958, has been called “the greatest game of all time.” To this day, these teams meet again at Giants home games.
Where is the goodbye?
It’s another late farewell for the Giants heading into Week 11. This is the usual destination for teams to rest after an international match. The Giants will play 10 straight weeks and when they finally get some time off, they will return from a game against the Panthers in Germany. No doubt you’ll need it by then.
overall gist
Is there a chance to start early? The first two games could be against teams starting rookie quarterbacks (JJ McCarthy and Jaden Daniels). There are only three prime-time games, all played over a five-week span. This means the league and schedule makers aren’t expecting much from the Giants, and that’s understandable given the uncertainty around their roster and quarterback. That’s a plus, since you won’t have to go on consecutive trips after Week 3. Twice this season, the Giants have had a short week (a Thursday night game) followed by a 10-day gap between games.
