Here’s a look at our game-by-game predictions for the NY Giants’ 2021 schedule
Week 1: vs. Denver Broncos, 4:25 p.m. on FOX
The NY Giants land in the coveted late-Sunday afternoon window, in a matchup that packs plenty of intrigue.
Even before factoring in the Broncos’ possible acquisition of reigning MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Week 1 for the NY Giants features the revenge game against former head coach and current Denver offensive coordinator, Pat Shurmur.
This could figure to be a chess match between two grizzled defensive coaches; the NY Giants’ defensive coordinator Patrick Graham and Broncos’ head coach Vic Fangio. Both offenses feature plenty of talent at wide receiver, after the NY Giants added Kenny Golladay and first-round rookie Kadarius Toney to quarterback Daniel Jones’ supporting cast, while the Broncos’ aerial attack features the likes of Jerry Jeudy, KJ Hamler, and Noah Fant.
This feels like the type of game people will be betting the under on, but turns into an offensive shootout.
