The New York Giants were recently announced as the latest team to be featured on HBO “Hard Knocks.” And one thing NFL fans should know is that fading N.Y. — at least in some spots — might be the best bet.

New York finishes its September slate hosting Dallas.
At the backend of the Giants’ schedule is Baltimore, Atlanta, Indianapolis and Philadelphia.
The Ravens and Eagles both clinched postseason berths last season. And then next season, the Falcons will have Kirk Cousins at QB and, if healthy, the Colts will have a young, fresh Anthony Richardson at the position.
