The New York Giants have a very intriguing schedule for the 2015 NFL regular season. The Giants play each of their divisional foes twice as they do every season. They also play the NFC South and the AFC East. The NFC South is of course coming off an abysmal season in which the 7-8-1 Carolina Panthers stumbled into the postseason as its representative team.

The AFC East features the defending champion New England Patriots, and yes the Giants play them after Tom Brady comes back from his suspension. The Patriots haven’t been dethroned as the AFC East champions since 2008 when the Dolphins held that title. The Giants also play the San Francisco 49ers and the Minnesota Vikings. Last season the Giants played the 49ers and lost in heartbreaking fashion, 16-10.

Today we are going to look at the three big things you have to know about the schedule the Giants play before September gets here.
