New York Giants have a positive rest differential in 2026
The New York Giants will have a slim but positive rest differential during the 2026 regular-season.
The 2026 NFL regular season schedule was released this week, and analysts immediately began picking it apart. Which teams got the best draws? The best travel routes?
The most rest time between games? Rest disparity is a real thing. According to Sharp Football, there were 61 games played where one team had three or more days of rest advantage last season, the fourth-most in NFL history.
This year, there are 69 such games, the most games in any NFL season in history. The Los Angeles Chargers will be getting the least time to kick back. Their opponents have a collective 24 rest-day advantage on them this season.
The Chicago Bears, conversely, hold a 15-day advantage. i think i did this right pic. twitter.
