New York Giants: 3 Reasons why the Giants can beat the Jaguars in Week 1

Opening Week Hiccups

The New York Giants are finally not opening up their season on the road against the Cowboys. In fact, the Giants usually find themselves opening up the season on the road, a typical disadvantage.

Now, they find themselves opening their season and season at home in the same game which is nice for them.

The Giants have not won a season opener at home since 2010 when they took down the Carolina Panthers, who, ironically, came into the league as an expansion team along with, you guessed it, the Jacksonville Jaguars.

So, it is not just the Giants being the home team. That is hardly an advantage anymore. It is the mere coincidences surrounding their last victory in a home opener that makes this interesting.

It has been a long time since the Giants won their home opener in the actual first week of the season. Even all else aside, now seems like a good a time as ever to end a bizarre streak.

To conclude, the Giants have a better offense then the Jags. The Jags, are likely going to have the better defense. But, the Giants might be better than the Jags where it matters.

As long as the Giants defense can keep it close the Giants will likely be the victors on Sunday.

The Giants have fresh new faces, but a pretty solid group of starters. As long as all goes well, the Giants should use these three things to their advantage to beat the Jaguars and win in Week 1.
