The New York Giants are coming off of a 3-14 2024 campaign that saw them earn the No. 3 overall pick in the NFL Draft. After making a pair of first-round selections and adding two veteran quarterbacks in free agency, the Giants are looking ahead to 2025.
Unfortunately for them, sports books are not so certain that the Giants will be able to improve upon their three-win mark. According to DraftKings Sportsbook, the Giants are favored to win just one game in 2025. The Giants' schedule is as follows, with odds courtesy of DraftKings.

A handful of games stick out on this schedule. The obvious one being the only favored game the Giants have, in Week 5, on the road, against the Saints. Who will be starting at quarterback for the Giants by that point will be a complete mystery, but the Saints may be the one team in the NFL in more dire straits than the Giants.
Another surprising line is the Giants being within a score of the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs are fresh off a Super Bowl appearance, and the odds seem to have a lot of faith in the MetLife crowd's ability to impact that game.
It's also a little surprising how close the oddsmakers have the Week 16 matchup, the J.J. McCarthy revenge game, especially in comparison to the Giants taking on the Raiders on the road, featuring equal odds.
