The New York Giants had the seventh-easiest schedule in 2020 with a strength of schedule of 123-132-1 (a .482 winning percentage). They drew a third-place schedule and outside of their six division games, they played the AFC North and NFC West.

In 2021, the Giants’ schedule will be the fourth-easiest at 118-136-2 (.465), which is mostly due to a down year in the NFC East where none of the four teams posted a winning season. The combined 2020 records of the Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys and Washington Football Team was 17-30-1.

The Giants will play a second-place schedule in 2021, meaning their two at-large games within the NFC will be against two playoff teams: the Chicago Bears (8-8) and Los Angeles Rams (10-6).

The NFC South teams combined for a 32-32 win-loss mark in 2020, while the AFC West went 34-30.

The Giants, outside of their home-and-home games versus their division rivals, will host the Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Las Vegas Raiders, Denver Broncos and the Los Angeles Rams at MetLife Stadium in 2021. They will travel to play games against the Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Chargers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New Orleans Saints and Chicago Bears.

In 2020, the Giants went 3-5 at home and 3-5 on the road.
