4. Can the Giants win close games like they did in '22?

The Giants in 2022 had very dramatic and come-from-behind wins that were so much fun to watch. How many times did we see NY on the other end of things in previous years? Big Blue set the tone with the thrilling Week 1 victory against the Tennessee Titans. So, how many more close Ws will NY be able to record?

In eight of the Giants nine wins in 2022, they were all decided by eight points or less, with only the one real blowout being their 38-10 drubbing over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 17 on New Year's Day. So, that's something Giants fans and football experts should keep their eye on in 2023. In many of these one-score wins that they had, they had to rally late and were trailing early on in those games. The Giants also only scored 30 points or more once in the regular season not including their 31-24 Wild Card win over the Minnesota Vikings.

So, that's the real question here, can the Giants win games like they did last season? According to Pro Football Talk, the Giants have the hardest strength of schedule in the NFL and if they want to equal the amount of success they had last year or even have a better season, they need to start playing well early on in contests, score more than 20 points and limit the mistakes.
