Who is favored to win the Giants-Rams Week 2 game?
New York finished 4-13 last season and fired head coach Brian Daboll, hiring John Harbaugh after his 18-year run in Baltimore ended. Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart makes his second career start after throwing for 230 yards and three touchdowns in a Week 1 win over Dallas. Running back Najee Harris, who hasn't played since an Achilles injury with the Chargers last season, was inactive in Week 1 but is trending toward his season debut.
Los Angeles finished 12-5 last season and reached the NFC Championship Game before losing to the Seahawks. Quarterback Matthew Stafford, the reigning NFL MVP, and head coach Sean McVay both return, and the Rams made two blockbuster additions this offseason: they traded for edge rusher Myles Garrett from Cleveland, and future Hall of Famer Aaron Donald came out of retirement to rejoin the defensive line. Garrett is now on injured reserve after a knee injury in Los Angeles's Week 1 loss to San Francisco and will have surgery.

What is the biggest storyline in the Giants-Rams Week 2 game?
The sharpest storyline is the Rams' rebuilt defensive line missing a key piece already. Myles Garrett and a once-retired Aaron Donald were brought in to chase another Super Bowl, but Garrett is now out for this game and at least three more after knee surgery, leaving Donald and the rest of the front to carry the load. On the other side, John Harbaugh gets his first primetime test as Giants head coach with a rookie quarterback who impressed in his debut.
What are the Giants' and Rams' expectations entering the 2026 season?
New York Giants: After a 4-13 season and a coaching change, the Giants are building around rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart and new head coach John Harbaugh. New York opened 2026 with an upset win over Dallas.
Los Angeles Rams: After reaching the NFC Championship Game, the Rams went all-in this offseason by trading for Myles Garrett and bringing Aaron Donald out of retirement. Los Angeles opened 2026 with a loss to San Francisco in Australia.
