NFL  > New York Giants  > Do the giants have the toughest schedule in the NFL???
April 16, 2009, 09:04 AM
I was happy to see the Giants have a late bye... but then to be fallowed up with the three division rivals in a row??? They play teams like Oakland, the cheifs, and broncos (who knows how they will be without cutler). but I dont sleep on those teams because they have gotten better. Plus they have last years NFC champs and charger, panthers vikings... being in the NFC east alone makes a tough schedule... I am hoping for a 10-6 season with this schedule... but there are going to be some close games.

I think having a tough schedule is good to have, provided you can still get into the playoffs. I think the Steelers proved that last year. Nothing gets you ready for the playoffs better than playing hard fought games throughout the year. I think if you go into the playoffs after playing a softer schedule you will feel more pressure from the intensity of the games.

The late bye is good, although they always play poorly after so 3 division games after concerns me a bit. It is a moderately tough schedule, but I see another 11-5 season coming, winning the division with the Cowboys and Egals tied at 10-6 right behind. Should come down to the final week as usual.

Hard fought games sometimes bring a lot of injuries especially to key players.They have a way of derailing the best made plans of mice and men.

Nope. According to opponent winning percentage, the Dolphins do:
