The New York Giants are the latest team to have their schedule leaked in advance of the league's official announcement at 7 p.m. Eastern.

Mike Garafolo of the Star-Ledger got his hands on the Giants' schedule, and the biggest news is that the Carolina Panthers will be the first team to visit the Giants at their new stadium on the opening Sunday of the NFL season.

Week Two will feature a Manning vs. Manning Sunday night game, as Giants quarterback Eli Manning will visit older brother Peyton Manning in Indianapolis in prime time on NBC.

The rest of the schedule: Sept. 26, Tennessee; Oct. 3, Chicago; Oct. 10, at Houston; Oct. 17, Detroit; Oct. 25, at Dallas; Nov. 7, at Seattle; Nov. 14 Dallas; Nov. 21, at Philadelphia; Nov. 28, JACKSONVILLE; Dec. 5, Washington; Dec. 12, at Minnesota; Dec. 19, Philadelphia; Dec. 26, at Green Bay; Jan. 2, at Washington.

I have an offcial schedule thread, but its being ignored...

Well we ruined the grand finale of their old stadium, might as well spoil the grand opening of their new stadium.

I like it. If this were the Giants of a couple years ago, I'd be worried. Of course, they will be wanting some serious revenge after we embarassed them last year.

[CharlotteBeer.com]

[Dpantherman]

I believe it is... cause the Jets are supposed to play Monday Night I think

[bigdog10]

yep.

Supposedly, the first game at Giants Stadium will be a Sunday nighter and then the Jets open it on MOnday night.

Pretty cool!

*Edit*

They play at Indy in week two on NBC. Not sure if they want NYG on nbc two weeks in a row

I agree... No better way to start the season. 300+ Rushing yards for the panthers

Screwing them over in the closer and the opener. Nice.

Anybody remember all that talk about a certain Panthers-related thing being incorporated rather stealthily into the new Giants stadium?

I do, did that ever go down as planned?
