The New York Giants appear primed to upset some teams on their schedule this season, but will that prove to be the case?

ESPN’s Jordan Raanan believes the Giants are strong enough to beat some good teams this year.

The Giants surprise some good teams. They might not be a perfect team, but there is enough talent to beat some top competition. Heck, they got wins over the Cowboys and Eagles last year with Dart at quarterback, so they're capable. The Giants have a quarterback in Dart who can make special plays. They have a No. 1 receiver in Malik Nabers. They (finally) have a good offensive line and a power running game that should be effective. And when they have a lead, the pass rush led by Brian Burns and Abdul Carter can do damage. The Giants are

going to upset quality teams this season and be in the playoff race come December.

The Giants have potentially winnable games against all three of their NFC East foes — the Washington Commanders, Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles — as well as the Jacksonville Jaguars and the San Francisco 49ers.

New York has the talent to upset even more teams, but the Giants are likely to keep games close and come away with wins that provide momentum this season.
