I do not trust that Garrett recognizes that WR's can routes other than 3 yard curls. Not to mention, while the Giants Defense is good, it is not as good as like the 2000 Ravens, 1985 Bears, etc. It is hard these days to hold competent teams below 17 points. Even the Bengals without Joe Burrow managed to score 17 on us last year. Don't be disillusioned by the fact that we scored less than 17 points 7 times last year. It was not because we faced great defenses. It was because our O was barely college caliber.
If the Giants manage to score 30 points against that defense this board will explode.
Then I guess you won’t have to worry about BBI exploding.
No, I'm more expecting more bellyaching about the offense even if we win tbh.
I'm very interested how much Saquon will be able to shoulder and how well the line run blocks. I'm expecting a pretty run heavy approach, the Broncos defense is going to be lights out against the pass this year, but they are susceptible against the run.
D plays better than score indicates as they're put in bad situations on a few occasions. I'd love to feel differently but until the O proves something...

picked the Broncos (some as a best bet), the difference being Teddy baby will "manage" the game expertly and not turn it over, and "Danny Dimes" will of course turn it over every other play. Denver is pretty damn solid everywhere but QB. We could win but Denver should 21-13.
Team rushes for 150+ yards.
Full expect Jones to pop one or two big runs.
would attack Miller/Chub with the zone read early and often to slow them down a bit.

You do realize that it is 2021 not 2020, right?
What happened last year has nothing to what happens this year. They changed over 40% of the players on the team. Offensive line has new players on 3 of the 5 positions that started the season last year...
for 120 yards, adds 4 receptions, for 30 yards and scores two TD's early. Giants jump out to a quick 17 point lead. The defense plays well and Gmen pound the rock in the second half with the backup RB's

2 of our top 3 healthyish WR have no chemistry with our QB because of off-season injuries and we got rid of our best OL from last year. That usually does not equate to improvement.
DJ turns it over on the potential game winning drive.
The best offensive lineman is still at center. Zeitler was not that good, merely average.
We do no know how much chemistry Jones has with his receivers, nor TE Rudolph and that could be crucial. But I think they will muddle it out - but he has Slayton and Shepard who he is well familiar with...
For a team that won 23 games over the last four years they sure are held pretty high by some. I saw one post say they are set everywhere but qb. Everywhere? Really now. 5-11. 6-10. 7-9. 5-11. I know we’ve sucked too since then but that’s an odd take by some.
shot at Jones on a score prediction thread. Gotta love it!
He could have meant that a RB or WR fumbles.
I'm picturing a Jones fumble. Take that as a shot at Jones and the OL.
Ok well ya know I was trying to defend you. But honestly none of your opinions on Jones have been wrong. So while I’m going to try to be optimistic, I’ll tell you that you haven’t been wrong but at the same time I hope you end up eating crow. Because I’m a Giant fan.
Jones 2 turnovers and sacked 4 times. He’s out played by Teddy fucking Bridgewater who throws for 230 yards and 2 TD’s. Barkley long TD run in the 2nd quarter gets the home crowd excited for a bit. Quick turnaround on the road in DC 4 days later…
I don’t think this game should be close. The Giants are at home, which should be big as players are getting back to playing in front of fans. I think our defense is better. I think our defense will score. I think we have a lot more talent on this Giants team. I see the Giants as being better in all phases of the game.
No surprise here, as the Oline allows pressure from the start, and Jones is limited to short passes. We don’t set the edge constantly and allow several chunk runs early. By the second quarter we’re down 10-0 and Pound out a long drive, using Barkley outside with pitch outs, counter plays, with a bootleg by Jones for 20 or so. Down 10-7 at half, we come back out like “mad dogs” (as LT would say) and take it to them. A turn-over and a gadget play or two gives us a 14-10 lead, and we score two more touchdowns with a power running game with Penny spelling Barkley at RB and scoring twice. I see the final scoreboard 28-10…..and then I wake up!
Go Giants!
Seem to be a mixture of what fans want to happen and what fans think is likely to happen.
What may be of some interest from these predictions is the median spread of victory which is in the 6-7 point range (whether it's a Giants or Denver victory.) It think that's a pretty solid prediction. A one TD differential in this game "feels" about right!
Big emotional home opener. Fans are loud and disruptive. OL plays well. Jones directs game winning drive. Bridgewater is the QB that makes the critical mistakes in this one.

so I don't see them lighting up the NYG D. The Giants have a more balanced O with Barkley playing, and I think the OL will be OK today, especially if Chubb is out or plays on a bum ankle. So, I'll go with NYG 24 Den 17.
could go either way?
Can we create turnovers?
Can we move the ball enough to score some points
Can our QB not turn the ball over?
Are our skill position guys gonna be effective?
Tons of questions....
Since I will be there and we are due for an opening day win
DJ - 24-37, 246, 1 TD, 0 INTs
Darius Slayton - 4 catches, 67 yds, 1 TD
Adoree Jackson - 1 INT
This is the best roster we've had, top to bottom, in ten years. Coaching staff heads into the second years of their respective systems. OL had a solid preseason of work together unlike last year. DJ threw exactly 1 INT the second half of last season.

Well I'm glad someone agrees with me about the roster thing. The back half of the roster is better than I ever remember it. We need an RT, a guard, and an explosive edge guy, but we are close as far as starters go. Adoree is a big question mark to me, if he can play up to his contract, the defense is going to be excellent.

Makes sense. I don’t think anyone sees the Giants being a team ready to blow someone out offensively, but our defense should be good enough to keep us in most games.
D plays better than score indicates as they're put in bad situations on a few occasions. I'd love to feel differently but until the O proves something...
Was off on the D but nailed the rest. Super psyched for 2021 baby!!!

You gonna be man or woman up and place your bet or are you going to be a fearful person? Come on give us some of your thoughts.
Let's see what your big guess is.
Giabts 30 Broncos 17
Giants 17
Hoping I’ve got these scores reversed!
Giabts 30 Broncos 17
If the Giants manage to score 30 points against that defense this board will explode.
Giants - 19 (4 FGs)
Broncos - 17

I think we'd be due a parade for that. I'll bring the confetti and you are responsible for the Chocolate Cherry Almond Snack Bars.
Giants - 19 (4 FGs)

I agree with this. Giants play well, but offense struggles, defense gets the job done in Q4 to seal the win

Broncos 20
Giants 10
Seems a bit excessive for DEN. 17-10 would be my guess
Oh dear Lord I hope not.
I think Giants win 23-17
Giants 23. Denver 16
Defense with 3 sacks, 2 turnovers. Rudolph and Saquon with TD’s. Daniel Jones 0 turnovers.
Yep
Full expect Jones to pop one or two big runs.
would attack Miller/Chub with the zone read early and often to slow them down a bit.
Golladay and Rudolph woth TDs in close.
Toney with more rush yards then reciving yards.
So I will say 21-17 Broncos, hope I am wrong.
Barkley rotates in with Booker, but does break 1 long run, ends up with 90 yds
Shep 1 TD catch, Rudolph 1 TD catch

17 BBIers are predicting a Giants win; 12 are predicting a Giants loss.
Interestingly, for those who are predicting a Giants win, the median margin of victory is 6 points.
And for those who are predicting a Giants loss, the median margin of defeat is 6.5 points.

Giants D gets a turnover in Giants' territory on Denver's final drive to ice the game.
It's a new year and anything is possible. (Plenty of time to be pessimistic later ;>)

Get ready for the Monday Morning Armchair QB’s!!!!
Broncos held to 1 TD and 3 FGs
Giants defense gets 2 Interceptions and 2 Sacks and has Teddy running for his life all day
Game wasn't as close as the score indicated.
LFG Big Blue!
17-3 Giants.
24-16
Go Giants!
By my count
27 BBIers are predicting a Giants win; 19 are predicting a Giants loss.
For those who are predicting a Giants win, the median margin of victory is 6 points.
And for those who are predicting a Giants loss, the median margin of defeat is 7 points.
The median points scored by Giants (win or lose) = 20
The median points scored by Denver (win or lose) = 17
