We now have a small amount of evidence of how the New York Giants will play under new head coach Brian Daboll. The Giants kicked off the 2022 preseason with a 23-21 victory on the road in New England. Take the preseason for what it is, but any signs of success for a New York team that has not finished above .500 since 2016 is noteworthy.
Regular season win bets are one of the most popular future markets in the NFL, and the Giants’ number is set at 7.5. Your initial reaction was probably similar to mine…
“7.5 is way too high for a team that has not won over six games since 2016. The franchise is 22-59 in their past five seasons and has been under three different coaching regimes.”
However, I had to rethink my original logic once I dove into the schedule and preseason rankings. New York has not had any success over the past five seasons, but they do have the easiest schedule in the NFL. Their slate earned this ranking thanks to the easy NFC East and the team’s crossover games against the AFC South.
The Giants having the most manageable schedule in the NFL is significant, but they are also one of the worst teams in the league. When I look at their schedule, they have seven games they can win.

In a perfect world, I cannot see this team finishing better than 7-10. The Cold Hard Football Facts support this statement in a multitude of ways. A new coaching regime can help a franchise, but an NFL rebuild is not an easy task.
New York’s starting offense struggled against New England’s second-string defense throughout the first quarter, and the offensive line issues were glaring. The Giants finished 15th in Offensive Hog Index last year, which didn’t help Daniel Jones succeed.
Jones was the worst quarterback in Real Quarterback Rating and the 31st ranked signal caller in Offensive Passer Rating. Jones’ did not have much protection, but his inability to protect the football has been a significant issue since arriving in the Big Apple.
The Giants were positioned in the middle of the league in numerous defensive metrics. The defense will be fine, but if Jones and the offense can’t deliver, the Giants have no chance to surpass eight victories.
Football is a complimentary game, and a potent offense can be a defense’s best friend. This has not been the case in New York for the past five seasons. It will not change in 2022. Hammer the under.
