New York Giants 2024 schedule: Game-by-game with predictions

New York Giants 2024 schedule: Game-by-game with predictions

The NFL released its 2024 regular season schedule on Wednesday night, and we’ve learned when the New York Giants will face their upcoming opponents. Big Blue will open the season against the Minnesota Vikings at MetLife Stadium in what might be the first career game for quarterback J.J. McCarthy.

In addition to facing their NFC East rivals twice, the Giants will play the NFC South and AFC North this season, which includes a trip to Germany to face off against the Carolina Panthers.

With the Giants finishing third in the NFC East, they’ll also face the same-place finisher in the NFC West and NFC North. With that additional 17th game, they’ll host the AFC South same-place finisher.

Below are our early game-by-game predictions for the 2024 season:

Assuming J.J. McCarthy starts in Week 1, the Giants will have the immediate advantage of going against a completely green rookie. If McCarthy remains on the bench, Sam Darnold starts. Big Blue starts strong.

Prediction: Win

The Commanders will be vastly improved this year but early in the season, they’ll be going through a transition period. The Giants generally have their number anyway and get an early win on the road.

Prediction: Win

Despite some remaining issues, the Browns are an ascending team, and Myles Garrett against Evan Neal is a terrifying thought. This is the start of an ugly stretch for the Giants.

Prediction: Loss

Cowboys? Primetime? This is pretty self-explanatory.

Prediction: Loss

The Seahawks have dropped the Giants in each of the past two seasons and it’ll be no different in 2024.

Prediction: Loss

Another primetime game… Until the Giants prove they can win under the bright lights, there’s no sense in picking them. This is also Joe Burrow’s first chance against Big Blue and he’ll make the most of it.

Much like the Cowboys, the Eagles have owned the Giants in recent years. Assuming Saquon Barkley is healthy enough to play at this point in the year, he’ll be determined to make a statement in front of the MetLife Stadium crowd.

Prediction: Loss

That dreaded primetime slot again. The same thing written earlier applies here. Steelers win.

Prediction: Loss

The Commanders should be hitting their groove at this point of the season but the Giants and quarterback Daniel Jones remain their kryptonite.

Prediction: Win

If there’s a worse team than the Giants, it’s the Panthers. Combine that with New York’s success overseas and this should — should — be their easiest game of the season.

Prediction: Win

This could go either way but the Giants are bound to pick up one win in a game most expect them to lose. Early afternoon at home against Baker Mayfield, who can be erratic… We’ll give them this upset.

Prediction: Win

We’ve seen this story before. Too many times. Happy miserable Thanksgiving, Giants fans.

Prediction: Loss

This is another game the Giants could win but they didn’t even keep it close last season. With a healthy Daniel Jones and some new additions tip the scales that much? We’re guessing not.

Prediction: Loss

Lamar Jackson has beaten every NFC team he’s faced except one: The Giants. But here in Week 15, he finally adds that notch to his belt.

Prediction: Loss

The Falcons should be better in 2024 but the Giants typically play well against Kirk Cousins. He’s thrown more interceptions (14) to Big Blue than any other team in his career.

Prediction: Win

John Jones-USA TODAY Sports

The Colts enter 2024 are a projected mid-tier team. These are the type of games the Giants have to win if they’re ever going to get over the hump.

Prediction: Win

Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports

The Giants close the season against the Eagles for the third straight year. If Philly is playing for playoff position, they win. If they rest their starters, maybe the Giants snag one last W. In this case, we assume Philly is playing for something.

Prediction: Loss

At 7-10, the Giants would finish one game better than they did in 2023. Would that be enough to save the jobs of general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll? Would it mean the end of Daniel Jones?

Anywhere in this range (5-12 to 8-9) and things will get very, very interesting for the organization next offseason.
