The complete 2026 slate with rest edges and schedule context, the 2025 ledger, and the franchise record since 1999 — every number computed from the bundled nflverse game log.

The New York Giants enter 2026 off a 4–13 season. Their 2026 opponents went a combined 143–144–2 in 2025 (a .498 strength of schedule, 17 of 32 — the naive prior-year method, whose real forecast error we measured here). The calendar hands them a net rest differential of +3 days (13 of 32), with week 2 (-3), week 9 (+7), week 11 (+3), week 12 (-3); the bye falls in week 8, they play 1 Thursday game, and 2 of their final four games are divisional. Rest-edge context lives in the schedule-quirks explainer.

Final record 4–13, 381 points scored against 439 allowed (-58). Home 3–5, road 1–8. One-score games (decided by 8 or fewer): 1–7 — the split most likely to regress either way, per the Pythagorean explainer.
