Survey results: Most fans expect a winless finish

Few fans are confident in any wins this year

New York Giants fans aren’t particularly optimistic regarding the final four games of the season.

To take the temperature of the fanbase, we asked the Big Blue View community how many of the Giants’ remaining games they’ll win.

Due to constraints on our polls, we’re only able to list four options, and it seems significantly more likely that the Giants would finish winless over the final four weeks than win all four games. So with that in mind, your choices were “zero”, “one”, “two”, or “three” more wins.

You probably could have called that the overwhelming majority of fans think the Giants will finish winless over the final stretch.

The results should be expected, considering the Giants are riding the second-longest losing streak in the NFL with eight straight losses. The Giants are a rudderless ship beset by injuries and have put their best players on the injured reserve.

It really shouldn’t be much of a surprise that few fans are optimistic. Unless, of course, they’re hoping for the first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, in which case going winless over the last four games constitutes optimism.

The Giants are 16.5-point underdogs against the Baltimore Ravens this week, but then they have two seemingly winnable games against the Atlanta Falcons and Indianapolis Colts in weeks 16 and 17.

However, the Giants have found new and exciting (or perhaps excruciating?) ways this year to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

This past week, the Giants put forth a phenomenal defensive performance against an equally bad and beat up New Orleans Saints team. They were in position to win, only to lose on a blocked field goal in the final seconds of the game. A

In light of that ending, it makes sense that only 26 percent of fans believe the team is headed in the right direction.

That is a slight dip from the previous week, and fan confidence has been bouncing between 20 and 35 percent over the last month or so.

Overall, the hope that a new quarterback — or perhaps that a veteran quarterback combined with a blue chip draft pick — could provide a solid foundation is keeping fan confidence afloat. However, fans also seem skeptical that Joe Schoen or Brian Dabol are the right guys to take advantage of the opportunity.

For this week, most believe that the Baltimore Ravens will win by more than two touchdowns and cover the spread — or at least they did before the line moved late in the week.

It’s worth noting that the line is now 16.5 points, so it’s we don’t know whether the Ravens are still favored to cover. However, if the Ravens were going to win by 15 points, they’ll probably win by 17 too.
