Looking Ahead: Giants Playoff Picture
What is the Giants' path to the playoffs? First, they need to make it out of a stacked NFC East. The Giants finished third in this division, which sent three of its four teams to the postseason, in 2022. Their 9-7-1 regular-season record under first-year head coach Brian Daboll in 2022 was their first above .500 since the 2016 season.
Heading into 2023, the Giants have put their full vote of confidence in franchise QB Daniel Jones, signing him to a massive four-year deal this offseason. The team has added offensive assets for Jones in free agency and the draft, including TE Darren Waller, OT John Michael Schmitz and WR Jalin Hyatt, and retained more talent in WR Isaiah Hodgins and WR Darius Slayton, who led the team in receiving yards. Young O-linemen Evan Neal and Andrew Thomas will have a season under their belts as well.
Questions remain around star RB Saquon Barkley's long-term future with the team that drafted him No. 2 overall in 2018. He skipped offseason workouts in April and is not interested in playing under the franchise tag this season, per reports, after posting his first 1,000+ yard season since 2019.
Do the Giants Have a Chance to Make the Playoffs?
As of now, yes, the Giants have a chance to make the playoffs! We're still four months away from the NFL's kickoff weekend in September, which means every team technically still has a chance to make the postseason. However, the Giants' current playoff chance sits under 50%, which means New York sportsbetting apps expect the Giants not to make the playoffs as of now.
The reigning conference champion Eagles are favored to win the division again with a 46.5% chance. Philadelphia's chance to make the playoffs is among the best in the league at 77.3%. The Cowboys are close behind them at 36.4% chance to win the division and 66.7% to make the playoffs.
While the Giants secured QB Daniel Jones and RB Saquon Barkley for at least this season, their offense still struggled in 2022, posting the sixth-lowest receiving yards and touchdowns in the league, and getting outscored 365-371 on the season.
On the opposite side of the ball, the defense lost captain Julian Love in free agency. The unit, which ranked second in forced fumbles and fumble recoveries, does see key pieces return with DT Dexter Lawrence, rookie standout Kayvon Thibodeaux, DE Leonard Williams, safety Xavier McKinney and CB Adoree' Jackson.
Are the Giants Out of the Playoffs?
As of now, no, the Giants are not out of playoff contention! Every team is still alive in the playoff hunt for 2023 as the NFL season has not yet kicked off. The NFL's first game is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 7, and games will continue throughout that weekend.
