Kneejerk Schedule Reax 4.0: '08 Shapes Up Nice For Jints
You're feeling pretty OK if you're a Giants fan and you've gotten a gander at the 2008 NFL schedule.
The defending champs only face two 2007 playoff teams after November 9 (at Redskins November 30, at Dallas December 14). And they open the season with their first seven games against teams that are just OK or a little better than that - Redskins, @ St. Louis, Bengals, Seahawks, @ Cleveland, 49ers.
The tough stretch for New York comes right there, though. On October 26, the Giants are at Pittsburgh then hosting Dallas and at Philly. Two of the three are Sunday night games on NBC.
Meanwhile, if Tom Coughlin's itching to find a sign of disrespect, his team has four prime-time games. Dallas and New England each have five. Hmmmmph.
Another tidbit: the Browns have three occasions in which they have back-to-back road games.

Hate to tell you, but the final game in the RCA Dome was last season. The Colts will play in Lucas Oil Stadium this season.
Regarding the comment about the Bears' schedule: While it's not technically three straight away games, the Saints play a "home" game in London surrounded by three away games. Throw in a Bye week and they go six weeks between home games.
