Joe Judge\u2019s 2020 New York Giants were a surprising team in 2020, not because they competed for a playoff spot in the garbage NFC East, but that they weren\u2019t that bad. This looked like the worst roster in the NFL in the preseason and Judge somehow got them to six wins, with four of their 10 losses coming by a single score. Just imagine what Judge can do with an actual NFL roster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll find out, because New York wasted no time getting involved in the free agent market, adding weapons on offense and key players on defense to go with a solid draft class led by Kadarius Toney out of Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With actual NFL players, the pressure falls on Judge to keep the forward momentum going and third-year quarterback Daniel Jones to grow into an NFL starter. This could very well be a make or break season for him. Luckily, they play in the NFC East and a record right over .500 could mean they host a playoff game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FORECAST<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Giants have a downright brutal schedule thanks to their second place finish in 2020. Not only do they draw the AFC West (and possibly an Aaron Rodgers-led Denver Broncos in Week 1), they also face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Los Angeles Rams (who also finished second in their divisions last year). Their 17th<\/sup> game? At the Miami Dolphins who went 10-6. Dak Prescott\u2019s return makes the Dallas Cowboys formidable, even if head coach Mike McCarthy doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is going to be a better team unable to post a significantly better record unless Jones makes some kind of spectacular Josh Allen leap this season. I don\u2019t think he has it in him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Record Prediction:<\/strong> 7-10<\/p>\n\n\n\n
