Every year it seems as though a team makes the leap from the basement of their division to the penthouse.
The New York Giants are a prime candidate to make the same leap from 2025 to 2026 as the New England Patriots and Chicago Bears did from 2024 to 2025 — at least according to ESPN’s Football Power Index.
Of the eight teams to finish last in their respective division, ESPN gives the Giants the third-best odds to win their division in 2026.
2025 record: 4-13
Odds of winning division: 11.6% (third in division)
Odds of making playoffs: 22% (25th in NFL)
