Every game during the course of an NFL regular season takes its toll, but these next four games are the closest thing to a breather the NY Giants will get in 2015. Here's our list of the 4 Easiest Games On The NY Giants' 2015 Schedule.
4. New York Jets (December 6th)
If Geno Smith escapes the first three months of the NFL season as New York's quarterback, this Sunday showdown at the Meadowlands could be the apex of Smith's (not-so) spontaneous career combustion. The Jets are on the come-up under new head coach Todd Bowles, but they'll be anchored in the muck as long as Geno is under center. If it's not Geno, Ryan Fitzpatrick or a green Bryce Petty aren't going to move the needle much further.
3. Atlanta Falcons (September 20th)
New Falcons head coach (and former Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator) Dan Quinn is already paying dividends for Atlanta's D in camp, but there's only so much both he and his staff can do to quell the dumpster fire flames of 2014's worst overall defense -- at least for now. They'll improve in increments, but Eli Manning/Odell Beckham Jr. should still be able to gash them for all they're worth in this Week 2 showdown.
2. Washington Redskins (September 24th, November 29th)
Two games of Robert Griffin III rolling his eyes at head coach Jay Gruden (when he's not eating turf thanks to the Giants' pass rush)? New York will take it. The Redskins' offense is relying on a QB/coach combo destined to implode while the defense is in a state of major upheaval at several key positions. Until this franchise somehow gets out of Daniel Snyder Bizarro World, you can pencil these in as the two easiest games on New York's division slate.
1. @ Tampa Bay Bucs (November 8th)
We're not sure what to expect out of Jameis Winston's first year in the pros. Will he win Rookie of the Year? Will he get a hankering for crab legs that only a shoplifting trip can satisfy? The rest of Bucs are a smattering of intriguing young pieces and cagey veterans with a bushel of replacement level players surrounding them, so there's really not much to worry about here regardless of which road Jameis ends up taking in the long run.
