New York Giants schedule 2024: Takeaways, predictions

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New York Giants‘ 2024 schedule was released along with the rest of the NFL slate on Wednesday.

There are some notable games for the 100th season in franchise history, including their first regular-season trip to Germany. The Giants play the Carolina Panthers in Week 10 at Allianz Arena in Munich before their bye week. Later that month, they have a Thanksgiving afternoon game on the road against the Dallas Cowboys.

But, really, perhaps the most crucial stretch will come early in the season. The Giants don’t face a single team from Weeks 3-8 that had a losing record last year. And three of those matchups (vs. Dallas, Cincinnati and at Pittsburgh) are in prime time.

That brutal stretch also includes perhaps the most-anticipated matchup of the season: Saquon Barkley and the Philadelphia Eaglesagainst his former team in Week 7 at MetLife Stadium. That one will be fun.

Here’s what’s in store for the Giants:
