Most have already written the New York Giants off this season, but they are still alive in the standings as they head to Chicago to face the Bears this Sunday.
Realistically, the Giants have zero chance of qualifying for the postseason, and the general consensus is they will come out of this season with no better than a 4-12 record.
A loss to the Bears on Sunday would give the Giants their ninth loss of the season and could eliminate them from playoff contention.
It’s only Week 12 in the NFL, and yet the Giants can already potentially be eliminated from making the playoffs this Sunday, per Elias Sports Bureau.
If the Giants were to lose to the Bears, the Cowboys were to upset the Patriots, and assuming there are no ties across the league, the Giants would officially be eliminated.
That is a bit of an ask to have Dallas beat New England since the game is in Foxborough, but still, it’s not even Thanksgiving and the Giants are headed for another meaningless December.
The Giants have 4-1 odds to hold the first overall selection in next year’s NFL Draft. They have only had the No. 1 overall selection in the draft twice in their history.
In 1951, they chose SMU end Kyle Rote. In 1965, they made Auburn running back Tucker Frederickson the first player chosen.
