New York Giants 2018 Schedule: Predicting Wins and Losses for Big Blue – Part I

Week 4

The New York Giants return home in Week 4 but will face one of their more difficult 2018 opponents. The New Orleans Saints have always had a great offense but had one of the better defenses in the NFL last season as well.

The running back combination of Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara was too much for the Saints’ opponents last year and the same could be true for the Giants in 2018. Janoris Jenkins should be able to handle Michael Thomas and the addition of Alec Ogletree should help in covering Kamara out of the backfield, but New Orleans will put points on the board in this one. They’re also likely to add an offensive weapon or two in the NFL Draft.

Odell Beckham Jr. vs. Marshon Lattimore in man-to-man coverage will be must-see TV. Two of the top young talents in the league is always fun to watch. Cameron Jordan will also be a handful for the Giants offensive line. He may make the Giants regret moving Ereck Flowers to the right side.

Saquon Barkley (potentially) and his ability to balance New York’s offense would be key to the Giants having a chance. Unfortunately, the Saints are Super Bowl contenders and just too much for Big Blue.
