Look, let’s get this out of the way at the top: Unless a number of extraordinary and unforeseeable things happen, the Giants aren’t going to make the playoffs. Just about every viable site that formulates such mathematical probabilities stands in agreement with this, but let’s rely on the smart folks at FiveThirtyEight, which lists Big Blue thusly right now:
N.Y. Giants < 1%.
As in: less than 1 percent.
And it’s fair to wonder: How is it possibly that high?
Still, what’s the point in being a sports fan if you aren’t willing to sign up for impossible dreams?
