Giants 2026 season prediction
Our Ralph Vacchiano believes the Giants will see a slight improvement in the first year of the John Harbaugh era, predicting New York will go 7-10.
“The New York Giants are expecting big things in the first year of the John Harbaugh era and their second year with Jaxson Dart, especially after enduring one of the NFL’s toughest schedules last season. They’re more in the middle of the pack this year, but the NFC East could be much tougher to navigate,”
Giants’ 2026 projected win total
The Giants’ projected win total for the 2026 season currently sits at 7.5 wins at FanDuel Sportsbook. Their odds to win the Super Bowl sit at +7000, while their odds to make the playoffs are +275.
Giants’ notable offseason moves
New York’s most notable move in the offseason came on its coaching staff, hiring former Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh to be its new head coach. Harbaugh brought some players from his former job with him, too. The Giants signed tight end Isaiah Likely, punter Jordan Stout and fullback Patrick Ricard, among others, from the Ravens.
The Giants lost defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, shipping him out to the Cincinnati Bengals in a trade. However, that helped them get two top-10 picks, with New York adding Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese and Miami (Fla.) offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa in the draft. The Giants also drafted Tennessee cornerback Colton Hood with one of the first picks in the second round.
How we’ve assessed the Giants’ offseason
Following the draft, Vacchiano placed the Chiefs at No. 18 in his power rankings.
Armed with two top-10 picks, they came away with arguably the draft’s best LB (Arvell Reese) and best offensive lineman (Francis Mauigoa),” Vacchiano wrote.
New York’s draft haul, meanwhile, earned a B grade from our draft analyst, Rob Rang.
“The John Harbaugh era started off in true ‘Big Blue’ fashion with arguably the best overall prospect stolen at No. 5 overall and the best blocker a few picks later,” Rang wrote.
