Death, Taxes and the Giants open a season in Dallas.
What else is new. As if the tv executives can't get enough of a match-up that has been pretty dull the past several seasons in this part of the schedule.
It will be the sixth time in the last eight seasons that the Giants and Cowboys have hooked up in Week 1, and the fifth time in the last six that the game takes place in Dallas. From 2015 through 2017 the Giants opened three consecutive seasons in Dallas. Last year, Big Blue opened up at home against Jacksonville. But of course, the Cowboys game was the following week.
Early takeaways:
The Giants home opener will be against the Bills this season. This is intriguing because the Bills will play in the Meadowlands two straight weeks to open the season. They play Week 1 against the Jets.
In Week six, the Giants head to Foxboro to meet up with the Patriots on Thursday night football. It will likely be the final time we see Eli Manning go up against Tom Brady. Then again, Brady is likely to play until he is 70 anyway, so who knows.
The Giants have no Sunday Night games this season. They do play Monday night at home against Dallas November 4, and at Philadelphia on December 9.
The Giants face the Jets on November 10 at 1 p.m., so so much for the conspiracy theories about an early regular season Jets-Giants game because their preseason slate was moved to week 1.
Two of the Giants final four games will be against the Eagles.
