In the NFL, every game is critical—but as we know, some games are just more important than others. It just is.

So, I put together five matchups—these five, in my opinion, are most critical to the Giants’ success this season. I will say—some of these games are not the most exciting (Spoiler: Giants vs. Patriots is not on this list), but these are the games that will determine whether or not the Giants are in postseason come January.

Here are the five games that I am calling the early “must-wins” for the Giants this season.
