The playoffs are a fantasy land for the 2023-24 New York Giants. There is little to no chance that fantasy comes to life over the final five games of the season. The math, though, says the possibility remains.
Because of that, because it is the bye week, and simply because we can let’s entertain the possibility.
Here are the current NFC playoff standings, via Pro Football Reference:
Team Rankings gives the Giants a miniscule 0.8% chance of making the playoffs. ESPN’s Football Power Index gives them the lowest possible chance, 0.1%. The New York Times playoff projection machine generously rounds it off and gives the Giants a 1% chance of making the playoffs for a second straight year.
