We have done this numerous years since I got here on BBI and I figured we should.....do it again! help pass the time on this garbage rainy April day(s) in New Jersey.
Any rumors, news, or guesses should be posted here until it is time for the full schedule to be out. I remember in many threads parts of the schedule would leak and we would try to put the pieces together.
I know everyone is chewing their arms off because of how slowly the time is moving until the draft. Got any guesses for week 1 opponent? It has been forever and many years since the Giants opened at home.
I cannot believe this is year number 6 for me for "See one road game a year". I dont know who I have my eyes on yet but it is looking like a good chance it is Indianapolis. How about you?
Or a schedule release date...release date? I think it was 4/19 or 4/20 last year? I know it will be this week. So dont be shy and join in on the discussions. We have cake.

Something about Bears at Giants screams Monday Night football. They were here in 2016, not that many fans like when I saw Chicago in 2004 when Kurt Warner was QB.
The last number of years, they host TNF and play away MNF or vice versa.
....
2013 vs Vikings
2014 vs Colts
Usually more NFC East games in December.

They will likely confirm some select games today or tomorrow, like NFL opener, MNF opener, and then the balance later on.
I am guessing we DONT open at Philly. Nothing that exciting about that.
More likely to be Vikes, or possibly an AFC team to spread the interest.
they just release it all at once now excpet the london games already announced

not enough primetime games as despite our 3-13 we will still get many more primetime games than jets

2 for sure, MNf and TNF based on this.
Drop any other sunday into 830, for 3. That is all we will get to start.

heard a rumor today that we'll open up in Carolina.
How are their fans?
They are decent enough. There will probably be a fair amount of Giants fans there, although if it is the home opener, maybe not as strong as in other years.
Panther fans are generally friendly and welcoming. If it is a 1PM game, the early tailgaters will all be Giant fans. Panther fans start to get to the lots around 10AM or later.
