A game-by-game projection pegs New York at 10-7 in 2026, comfortably above Las Vegas' 7.5-win total and potentially in the playoff mix by Week 18.
The case rests on a middle-of-the-pack schedule — opponents combined for a 0.498 winning percentage in 2025 — plus a favorable Week 8 bye and Week 10 mini-bye before a difficult December stretch.
