New York Giants fans are confident in their team.
We didn’t really need a poll to tell us that much. But considering Las Vegas only has the Giants as slim 1.5-point favorites (per FanDuel) over the Washington Commanders, we wanted to see just how confident Giants’ fans are heading into the rematch.
Our survey question this week was quick and simple: Do you think the Giants will win?
While I suspect few fans are expecting a pretty game, the answer is pretty conclusive.
A full 92% of Giants fans are confident
in a win over the Commanders.
That is, honestly, more than I was expecting. The Giants came out a bit flat against the Eagles in Week 9, and their offensive line didn’t look good at all. There’s also the ever-present concern of Jayden Daniels using his athleticism against the Giants’ aggressive man coverage based defense.
The Giants have had a habit of playing sloppy and taking games down to the closing seconds. They’ve been remarkably resilient in dealing with adversity, and that’s largely been their saving grace this year. Even when they screw up, they aren’t letting those mistakes snowball.
Peeking over at a similar question on our Commanders sister site, Hogs’ Haven, their fan base isn’t nearly as optimistic.
Their fans are split, slightly favoring the Giants in this game 47-46%, with 7%expecting another tie.
Overall, the confidence in a win over the Commanders is in line with the overall confidence of fans in their team.
Like I said above, Giants fans are confident and 97% of fans believe that the team is headed in the right direction. That’s a slight bump from last week’s 96%, despite the team not able to land a difference maker ahead of the trade deadline. Or perhaps the bump has something to do with the Giants hanging onto their picks and not trading for a veteran running back or defensive tackle.
