The New York Giants‘ 2015 schedule was released on Tuesday night, with not many surprises awaiting the G-Men. They already knew their opponents would be, and now know when they’ll be playing each game. After a disappointing 2014 campaign that saw them finish 6-10, there’s hope for the Giants, who now face a 2015 schedule that offers a handful of winnable non-divisional matchups.

Week 1: Giants @ Cowboys – Sunday, September 13, 8:30pm ET

Week 2: Falcons @ Giants – Sunday, September 20, 1pm ET

Week 3: Redskins @ Giants – Monday, September 24, 8:25pm ET

Week 4: Giants @ Bills – Sunday, October 4, 1pm ET

Week 5: 49ers @ Giants – Sunday, October 11, 8:30pm ET

Week 6: Giants @ Eagles – Monday, October 19, 8:30pm ET

Week 7: Cowboys @ Giants – Sunday, October 25, 4:25pm ET

Week 8: Giants @ Saints – Sunday, November 1, 1pm ET

Week 9: Giants @ Buccaneers – Sunday, November 8, 4:05pm ET

Week 10: Patriots @ Giants – Sunday, November 15, 4:25pm ET

Week 11: BYE

Week 12: Giants @ Redskins – Sunday, November 29, 1pm ET

Week 13: Jets @ Giants – Sunday, December 6, 1pm ET

Week 14: Giants @ Dolphins – Monday, December 14, 8:30pm ET

Week 15: Panthers @ Giants – Sunday, December 20, 1pm ET

Week 16: Giants @ Vikings – Sunday, December 27, 1pm ET

Week 17: Eagles @ Giants – Sunday, January 3, 1pm ET

Not too bad for a team looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2014 season. Of the Giants’ 16 matchups, 10 are against teams that finished 8-8 or worse in 2014. The only difficult matchups come in their four divisional showdowns with the Eagles and Cowboys, and a mid-season battle with the Patriots.

So what can we expect from the Giants in 2015? There’s a very good chance they improve on their 6-10 record from last year — I’m guessing they end it with an 8-8 record, with the potential to go even higher if Eli Manning can find a way to limit his turnovers. What’s your prediction for the G-Men in 2015?
