Most Difficult Stretch of the Giants’ 2025 Schedule on Paper
This entire Giants schedule is no picnic, but the first four weeks could be the most difficult as Big Blue will play two key divisional games, followed by matchups against two of the AFC’s best.
The Commanders have been on the rise ever since they drafted Jayden Daniels in 2024, and Dallas should be better with Dak Prescott back under center. Having said that, if the Giants want to do anything in 2025, they’ll have to win some of their divisional games.
Of course, it doesn’t help that their first two opportunities are on the road.
The home opener is obviously no soft landing spot after that, as NYG hosts the Chiefs. Kansas City has dominated the AFC under the tenure of quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and Jim Harbaugh’s Chargers have proven that they are only a step below KC — if even.
These games are not only difficult in terms of the opponent, but they’ll also play out as a very new Giants roster gels and builds chemistry. Training camp and the preseason never quite provide tests like the regular season does.
Beyond the first four games, Week 8 through Week 12 could rival the challenging start. Road games in Philly, Chicago and Detroit won’t be easy and the Giants don’t get much respite with the 49ers and Packers coming to town.
Early Storylines Within Giants’ 2025 Schedule
There are several storylines to watch this year for the Giants, regarding matchups.
If Russell Wilson is still the starting quarterback in Week 7, he’ll face off against his former team and head coach, the Broncos and Sean Payton. The latter would also be facing off against his former team in the Giants, but that has already occurred many times in years past.
Similarly, if Wilson makes it to Week 17, he’d face his former HC, Pete Carroll, who’s leading the Raiders in Las Vegas.
Head coach Brian Daboll will also go up against his former organization, the Patriots, in Week 13. As Big Blue gets a closer look at the quarterback they attempted to trade up for last offseason, Drake Maye.
On that note, how about the Giants facing the QB they passed on in Week 16, as they host J.J. McCarthy and the Vikings? Or more revenge games against Saquon Barkley and a delayed one versus Xavier McKinney’s Packers?
One thing’s for sure: this will be a pivotal season for Big Blue as they decide whether or not to move on from Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen, who just drafted a first-round quarterback for the first time in Jaxson Dart.
