Survey results: Will the NY Giants be next to win a championship?

Posted by Admin June 20, 2026 NFL

New York still has Knicks fever, which sounds more dangerous than it probably is.

It wasn’t all that long ago that championship parades were a regular occurence in the Big Apple. Between the New York Giants winning in 1986, 1990, 2007, and 2011, the Yankees winning in 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2009, there was a pretty steady stream of parades for a quarter century.

But the Giants’ Super Bowl parade 14 years ago was the last time New York got to celebrate a championship. Until this week, that is, when the Knicks brought a championship back to New York this spring.

In honor of the Knicks winning their first championship in 53 years, we asked you which of New York’s football teams would be the next to win a Super Bowl. The response was both predictable and a bit surprising.

We really shouldn’t be all that surprised that Giants fans think that the Giants will be the next to win a Super Bowl. Likewise, we shouldn’t be all that surprised only 1 percent of fans think the New York Jets will be next to win a Super Bowl. I didn’t specify a timeline, and the Jets clearly have a plan to return to competency, but a lot can happen between now and three years from now.

The surprise, at least for me, was that the Giants and Buffalo Bills aren’t closer.

As of this writing, the Bills have the best odds in the AFC (and the second-best odds overall) of winning the Super Bowl. Per FanDuel, the Bills are tied with the Seattle Seahawks at +1000 to win the Super Bowl, trailing only the Los Angeles Rams at +550.

The Giants, meanwhile, are 24th at +7500, nestled right between the Carolina Panthers (23rd, +7000) and the Atlanta Falcons (25th, +8000).

The Bills’ path to the Super Bowl is complicated by the fact that we just don’t know if Joe Brady will be as good a head coach as Sean McDermott was for the Bills. It could prove that their decision to fire McDermott was rash and they’ll quickly come to regret it. Likewise, the AFC is pretty well stacked with tough teams (like the Chargers, Patriots, Texans, Jaguars, and Ravens) that might have wider championship windows than the Bills.

The Giants, meanwhile, have a young roster that may just be coming into its own. The hope here is that Jaxson Dart can prove to be a franchise quarterback, while the young players across their roster can reach their potential under the new coaching. The Giants would certainly be perceived differently if players like Abdul Carter, Kayvon Thibodeaux, Tyler Nubin, Deonte Banks, Theo Johnson, or even Jalin Hyatt could consistently play up to the flashes we’ve seen from them.

Perhaps coaching and player development will be the difference that allows the Giants to leapfrog the Bills in how the New York teams are perceived. We’ll just have to wait and see.
