2009 NFL Schedules Released!

The NFL released its schedule for the 2009 regular season tonight. This year the Giants will play the NFC South and AFC West, and NFC division winners Minnesota and Arizona.

The schedule is somewhat reminiscent of last year's. Of note: the Giants play four of their first six games on the road; former Giant TE Jeremy Shockey will face his old teammates in Week 6 and free agent departure Derrick Ward does the same in Week 3; their bye week comes at reasonable time in Week 10...

The Giants will play in 5 prime-time games in 2009, including Thanksgiving night against the Broncos. Nine of their opponents had winning records in 2008.
