The New York Giants’ 2025 schedule is finally out, and let’s just say—this season won’t be for the faint of heart. The Giants are staring down one of the toughest lineups in the league, featuring star quarterbacks at every turn. But even in the shadows of a brutal slate, there are a few glimmers of opportunity.
Here are three takeaways every Giants fan needs to know:
1. Not Much Prime-Time Love This Year
Don’t expect the Giants to be stealing the national spotlight. They’ve landed just three prime-time games, with two late-season matchups still up in the air. For now, it’s Kansas City at home in Week 3 on Sunday Night Football, the Eagles in Week 6, and a Monday Night Football visit to the Patriots in Week 13. That’s it. Not exactly a confidence booster from the league, but maybe a blessing if they’re trying to build quietly.
2. Vegas Has Little Faith—Giants Favored Just Once
According to the early betting lines, the Giants are only favored in one game all year: Week 5 at the New Orleans Saints. That’s rough. They’re underdogs against every NFC East rival and most of the rest of their schedule. But odds don’t play the games—players do. If Russell Wilson can squeeze out some magic or if Jaxson Dart gets the call and shows flashes, all bets are off.
3. December Could Belong to Jaxson Dart
Don’t be surprised if rookie QB Jaxson Dart gets the keys later in the year. The team has a perfectly timed Week 14 bye, followed by a more manageable stretch: home games against Washington and Minnesota, a trip to Vegas, and a final clash with Dallas. If the season’s already slipping by then, the Giants may give Dart his shot—especially with the home crowd behind him.
Tough road ahead? Definitely. But if Dart steps in and sparks something late, this year could lay the foundation for something bigger in 2026.
