NFL Schedule 2013: Previewing the New York Giants schedule

We already know what opponents the New York Giants will play in 2013. Thursday night we find out the particulars when the official 2013 NFL Schedule is released. The release will be aired live at 8 p.m. ET on NFL Network, which is sure to make exciting television.

Here is a look at the opponents we know the Giants will face. It's a group with a collective .500 record (123-123). On paper not as overwhelming a schedule as the Giants have faced in recent seasons.

HOME OPPONENTS
Washington Redskins (10-6)
Dallas Cowboys (8-8)
Philadelphia Eagles (4-12)
Green Bay Packers (11-5)
Minnesota Vikings (10-6)
Denver Broncos (13-3)
Oakland Raiders (4-12)
Seattle Seahawks (11-5)

AWAY OPPONENTS
Washington Redskins (10-6)
Dallas Cowboys (8-8)
Philadelphia Eagles (4-12)
Chicago Bears (10-6)
Detroit Lions (4-12)
Kansas City Chiefs (2-14)
San Diego Chargers (7-9)
Carolina Panthers (7-9)

We will have more on the schedule this evening after the dates and times of each game are released.

Programming Notes

GM Jerry Reese holds his pre-draft presser at noon. Giants.com will live stream Reese's comments, and I will have a report at some point this afternoon. Also, Matthew Fairburn of Mocking The Draft and I are planning a Google+ Hangout Thursday evening at 9 p.m. ET. More details on that as the day goes along.
