Forget balance for a second, the schedule may help out the Skins in reference to the Giants. The Giants have Indy at home in week 1 followed by road trips to Philly and then Seattle, before a very early BYE in Week 4. When they face the Skins at home in Week 5, they could potentially be 0-3 or 1-2 very early. The Giants scare me more than the Cowboys in terms of balance, but they have to play that 1st place schedule, which is sweet revenge considering that they never could have won the division IMO without having 9 home games and only 7 road games last year. They exited early in the playoffs, (before the Skins) but get the tougher schedule this year.
