NY Giants: Ranking their 2021 Opponents

New Orleans Saints

2020 Record: 12-4 (Lost NFC Divisional Playoffs vs the Tampa Bay Buccaneers)

2021 Venue: Mercedes-Benz Superdome

The Giants toughest three games in 2021 will be significantly harder than their other 10 matchups this season.

First up in the top three is the Saints. Drew Brees has retired and the Saints simply won’t ever be the same without him and his presence.

As the saying goes, the show must go on.

Sean Payton will look to Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill to be the new starting quarterback. Payton, the Giants former Offensive Coordinator, is one of the NFL’s brightest offensive minds in league history. He has led and helped orchestrate numerous all-time offenses in terms of both scoring and yardage.

While they won’t have Drew Brees, NOLA will still possess Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas.

They are two of the most dangerous weapons at their respective positions and matchup nightmares for any defense. Add in an absolutely dominant offensive line, the Saints offense should be able to stay afloat in 2021.

The defense also carries great players in Cameron Jordan, Marcus Davenport, Demario Davis, and Marshon Lattimore. The crowd in New Orleans is one of the loudest in the NFL and the thundering cries of “When the Saints Come Marching In” deafens inside the Superdome. It’s been one of the NFL’s toughest away venues for years and that won’t change for the NY Giants in ’21.
