It’s a new era for the New York Giants with Jaxson Dart replacing Russell Wilson. And Cam Skattebo adds to the new-look mix in the backfield. And here are the Giants’ game-by-game predictions with Dart as the starting quarterback.
The Giants grabbed Dart with the No. 25 overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft. Dart shone in the preseason, leading many to speculate he would supplant the veteran starter sooner rather than later.
And when Wilson couldn’t keep the Giants from losing each of their first three games, the writing was on the wall.
It makes a lot of sense to put the Giants in an 0-4 hole, but they have a nice advantage. The Chargers are undefeated, but will have to travel across the country as a West Coast team in a 1 p.m. (EDT) start. That usually bodes well for the home team.
If the Giants can avoid a disastrous start to the game and get Dart settled in, they night have a shot at the upset.
However, this will wind up being a close game but not a shocker.
Loss: 0-1 (0-4)
This is the perfect setup for Dart to get his first win. Yes, the Giants will be on the road. But the Saints have one of the weakest rosters in the NFL. Dart won’t have to put up 300 yards passing. Just take care of the ball.
Win: 1-1 (1-4)
No need for a lot of chatter here. Dart won’t be able to lead the team to a win here.
Loss: 1-2 (1-5)
The Mile High experience won’t be a good one. Dart will find the Broncos defense way too tough for a young quarterback in a hostile environment.
Loss: 1-3 (1-6)
It’s easy to see how tough the early road is for Dart. It’s not like he’s a magician. This one will be even tougher than Denver.
Loss: 1-4 (1-7)
Once again, the Giants get the advantage of a West Coast team traveling across the country for a 1 p.m. kickoff. And this time, the Giants will pull off the upset. The 49ers are already banged up on defense, and Dart will help the Giants find a way to get the surprise win.
Win: 2-4 (2-7)
This is a winnable road opportunity because of the Bears’ defense. But you have to like Caleb Williams over Dart in this situation.
Loss: 2-5 (2-8)
