It's the big blue banter. New York Giants football podcast. I'm Dan Schneier. Join as always my coach, Nick Falado. Labor Day weekend is in the books. It's a wrap,

which means we've got, I don't know, 72 hours before the NFL season resumes. And we have a Friday night game, which is somewhat exciting, Nick, but also annoying because I don't have peacock. And I have to, I guess, buy that before Friday, which is super disappointing on that front, because I'm not going to use it for anything else.

I'm sure a lot of fans are going to the same thing.

And then another 28, you know, Friday, which is super disappointing on that front because I don't, I'm not going to use it for anything else.

I'm sure a lot of fans are going to the same thing.

And then another 28, you know,

another 48 hours to go and the Giants are playing their first game this season,

hosting the Minnesota Vikings in a game where they opened as favorites.

But now the Giants are actually home underdogs for that game as the betting market

has heavily poured

money in on the Minnesota Vikings. Really important game, Nick, the Giants have won just one of

their last seven home openers, which is a wild stat that I didn't know. So I look today, it was that

Titans win two years ago when the Titans missed that field goal at the end of the game and Giants went

for two-point conversion. Brian Daibles' first game is head coach. It set the tone for the season. I don't think it's a surprise that that was like their one winning season in the last seven, I think is what it was. So these first games matter. They mean a lot. We saw last year the Giants got their ass kicked by the Cowboys, 40 to nothing. The entire season was an epic disaster versus expectation. So I'm very excited for this first game, Nick. We're going to do preview of the game later this week. This is not that. What we're doing today is this. We're looking at the offensive side of the ball. We're going player by position by position, player by player, and breaking down the best case scenario for the Giants offense in 2024.

If everything hits right, this is a variance plan.
