NFL power rankings, Week 1: Cautious optimism for the Giants

For the first time in years, the New York Giants are entering Week 1 of the NFL season with a healthy amount of respect from the national media.

Coming off a 9-7-1 season, the Giants are generally being ranked right in the middle of the pack in major outlets’ initial power rankings for the 2023 season. Some writers are expecting regression, some are expecting another playoff run.

The Giants are ranked 16th out of 32 NFL teams in our aggregate score, which averages out the power rankings from the sources listed below. That’s a stark contrast from the low expectations and general malaise that surrounded New York the past several Septembers.
