Betting Approach following the 2024 NFL Schedule Release

We offered New York Giants fans polls on a pair of timely topics on Thursday — how they think the team will fare now that the 2024 NFL schedule is official and how they feel about the ‘Century Red’ throwback jerseys the team unveiled.

The results don’t show a lot of positivity on either front.

In our season-record poll, 40% (1,002) of 2,496 voters said the Giants would win eight or nine games. Another 37% (928) said the team would win six or seven games. A discouraged 13% (322) said the Giants would win five games or fewer. Only an optimistic 10% (244) thought the team could win 10 or more games.

Absolutely disgusting…and not in a good way. Seriously, awful.

I absolutely love it. They aren’t going to win any design awards but it kinda gives me a gritty, tough nosed, getting down and dirty feeling. Hopefully they embrace that style.

Epic. Audacious. Outrageous. These throwbacks look boss! The Giants got it right this time! The winged helmets, tan pants and red jerseys rock! Since I probably won’t make it to the next Centennial, best to all past, present and future Giants.

These are some ugly jerseys. I doubt it’ll be the ugliest Giants related thing we see all year, but still.
