Some thought shortly before the Giants finished the 2024 season at 3-14 that team co-owner John Mara would show both Schoen and Daboll the door in January.

The schedule for NFL teams was released yesterday, and the New York Giants kick off their season with games against the Washington Commanders, Dallas Cowboys, Kansas City Chiefs, and Los Angeles Chargers.

The NFL schedule drop this Wednesday will serve as a grim reminder for Giants fans of how difficult their 2025 opponent list is.

The 2025 NFL schedule has been released. With the matchups set, let’s take a look at how Vegas bookies see the Giants and Jets’ seasons playing out, with odds via FanDuel Sportsbook. The Jets, who will open their season against the Steelers — and potentially Aaron Rodgers — aren’t expected to be much improved in 2025.

The New York Giants arguably have one of the hardest schedules for the 2025 campaign. Last season, they finished with a disappointing 3-14 campaign, raising questions about head coach Brian Daboll's future with the franchise. However, the upcoming season is an opportunity for Daboll to prove his worth to the fans.

The wide receiver will spend time at the team facility on Wednesday and reconnect with Giants general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll.

As presently constructed, the Giants would have Wan'Dale Robinson or Darius Slayton as the wide receiver to partner with Nabers. Neither of those options are stellar and Daboll could revive Davis's career with their past experience together.
