5 most important NY Giants games for the 2024 season

2. Week 13 vs. Cowboys

Once again, the Giants have been given a Thanksgiving matchup, this time, against the Cowboys. Not only is any Thanksgiving game exciting to watch, but being as late as it is in the season, the Giants could have some real benefits for coming out with an underdog win.

The Giants haven't beaten the Cowboys since 2020, and last season, Dallas absolutely wiped the floor with them, winning both games by a combined score of 89-17. This is unacceptable and if the Giants want to show that they aren't messing around in 2024, they need to take one of their matchups against Dallas.

While they face off first in Week 4 on Thursday Night Football, a win against America's team on Thanksgiving would be a great slap in the face. This game could also spell disaster for the Cowboys if they lose. They've consistently disappointed year in and year out, so a late-season loss to New York could start another downward spiral.
