2024 New York Giants Predictions with Odds to Win the Super Bowl

by Ryan Cobbett - 8/23/2024

New York Giants predictions Daniel Jones

Last season was one to forget for the Giants, as they went on to finish 6-11 with a -141-point differential on the year. The Giants were one of the worst road teams last season, going just 2-7 away from home. New York was also one of just five teams to fail to score more than 300 points last season.

New York nearly had three different quarterbacks record over 1,000 yards passing last season. Tyrod Taylor led the team with 1,341 yards over 11 games, while Tommy Devito finished second on the team with 1,101. Daniel Jones had his season come to an end thanks to an injury as he finished with 909 yards passing. Combined, the three quarterbacks threw just 15 touchdowns while recording 12 interceptions. They got no help from their offensive line that allowed 85 sacks last year. Saquon Barkley led the ground game, finishing with 962 yards and six rushing touchdowns. He also added 280 more yards receiving with four receiving touchdowns. Darius Slayton was the team’s leading receiver with 770 yards on 50 catches, and he was tied with Barkley for the team lead in receiving touchdowns with four. Darren Waller and Wan’Dale Robinson both recorded more than 500 yards receiving and combined for two touchdowns.

This defense was nearly as bad as the offense last season for the Giants. They ranked 27th in allowed YPG, allowing over 360 YPG, while they allowed 23.9 PPG. Linebacker Bobby Okereke was the lone bright spot for this defense, as he recorded 149 tackles, which ranked ninth in the league, while he also finished second on the team with 11 TFLs, 10 pass deflections, and two interceptions. Safety Xavier McKinney and linebacker Micah McFadden also recorded more than100 tackles last season and McKinney led the defense with three interceptions. Kayvon Thibodeaux led the Giants with 11.5 sacks and was the only Giants player to record more than five sacks.

New York Giants Key Additions/Losses

The Giants lost a lot of production on both sides of the ball, with McKinney and Barkley departing over the offseason. Tyrod Taylor is also no longer a part of the Giants QB room, and defensive tackle A’Shawn Robinson is also not returning.

The Giants did their best to replace the departed stardom as they brought in defensive end Brian Burns, who should complement Thibodeaux nicely in the pass rush. Drew Lock will replace Taylor’s absence, while New York also replaced Barkley with Devin Singletary. Jalen Mills was added to the secondary while Isaiah McKenzie will give the Giants more depth at receiver.

New York Giants New Kids on the Block

The Giants did a good job in this past draft and capitalized on their six picks. Malik Nabers should slot in as the Giants WR1 immediately, while tight end Theo Johnson might have been the most underrated tight ends in college last season. They also addressed their secondary by drafting safety Tyler Nubin from Minnesota and cornerback Andru Phillips from Kentucky. Nubin recorded five interceptions and 46 tackles last season for the Gophers, while Phillips recorded a career-high 47 tackles in his final season with Kentucky.

New York Giants X-Factors

The Future- The Giants are a long way from being a playoff team in this league. And with the Cowboys and Eagles set for the immediate future, it is going to be a long improvement process for New York. The front office drafted well this last year and will need to continue to do so if they want to find their way back into the postseason.

Daniel Jones- The Giants drafted Jones in hopes that he would be the next franchise guy, but he has been anything but that. While he has shown glimpses of his potential, he is either hurt or severely underperforming. We need consistency out of Jones if the Giants want to build around him.

New York Giants Schedule Breakdown

Predicted Win Total: 6.5 Games

Though adding Nabers in the draft should boost the pass game, this offense is still going to be one of the worst in the NFL, especially with the uncertainties they face at the quarterback position. The run game will be significantly weaker as well without Barkley in the backfield, and the secondary is questionable at best. With only two wins on the schedule and seven toss up games, I am not sure seven wins is likely for the Giants. In fact, I would say the ceiling for this club is 6-11, like last season, and they may win only four or five games. The Commanders improved this offseason, and the Cowboys and Eagles will be many steps ahead of New York on the field. I do not see a way the Giants go 5-2 in their seven toss up games, which include games against Minnesota, @ Washington, @ Seattle, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Tampa Bay, and New Orleans. It does help a lot of those games are at home, but I am staying on the south side of the win total.

New York Giants Predictions

Bad news Giants fans, it is going to be a long year, and you will be fighting to stay out of the NFC East basement. Daniel Jones is not the guy that is going to get it done, and his inability to be consistent will keep Malik Nabers from having a breakout year as a rookie. The offensive line is still a huge problem, and the defense did not take any steps forward, either. The Giants could end up being the worst team in the league. Under 6.5 on the win total, and I will be highly fading this club this season.
