Optimism about the 2024 NFL season hasn’t been overflowing for the New York Giants, either among their fans or the (supposed) football intelligentsia. For example, Pro Football Focus recently ranked the Giants No. 31 among the 32 NFL teams heading into the season, taking the under on a projected 6.5 win total. That means that they don’t think the Giants are improved at all from 2023, when they went 6-11.
They’re not alone: NFL.com puts them at No. 27, ESPN has them at No. 28 (with no effect from their having drafted Malik Nabers), CBS Sports ranked them No.
