The NY Giants schedule is a daunting path back to the NFL postseason for the first time since 2016 goes through some of the more dominant teams in the league this upcoming season

Entering the 2021 NFL season, the NY Giants schedule is the eighth easiest in the league, but you wouldn’t be able to tell based on the caliber of rosters they’ll be facing.

Is this the year the Giants make it back to the Playoffs for just the second time since winning the Super Bowl following the 2011 campaign?

Here’s a look at the opponents on the NY Giants schedule ranked from easiest wins to toughest teams to beat:

14) Atlanta Falcons

The easiest game on the NY Giants’ schedule is against the Falcons

They’re easily the least frightening team the Giants’ have to play this season. Atlanta finished 4-12 last season, giving them the fourth overall pick in the draft. They used that pick to select TE Kyle Pitts. Also this off-season, they traded star wide receiver Julio Jones to the Tennessee Titans. Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is getting older, and Atlanta finished last season with the 19th-ranked defense in the league. The NY Giants will have home field advantage for the matchup this season.
