Here is the New York Giants' 2019 regular-season schedule with the complete details below, as provided to NorthJersey.com and USA TODAY NETWORK New Jersey by a source with knowledge of the slate.

The Giants will open the season - surprise, surprise! - against the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and they will play three prime time games (Thursday night at the Patriots in Week 6 and two Monday Night Football games: home against the Cowboys in Week 9 and at the Eagles in Week 15).

The Giants' home opener is in Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills, and the MetLife Bowl is set for Week 10 against the Jets.

Mentor and pupil bring their squads together as GM Dave Gettleman sees his former assistant GM in Carolina, Buffalo GM Brandon Beane.

Week 3: at Buccaneers

Sunday, Sept. 22, 4:05 p.m.

It's a former Arizona reunion with DC James Bettcher facing Bruce Arians and the DC he replaced with the Cardinals, former Jets head coach Todd Bowles.

Landon Collins, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Ereck Flowers come back to MetLife Stadium.

Week 7: vs. Cardinals

Sunday, Oct. 20, 1 p.m.

Will the Giants be facing QB Kyler Murray or QB Josh Rosen ... and could Rosen be with Big Blue?

Week 12: at Bears

Sunday, Nov. 24, 1 p.m.

Giants upset the Bears in overtime last season for their best win of the season.

Week 13: vs. Packers

Sunday, Dec. 1, 1 p.m.

The Giants have been reeling since they last saw Green Bay in the 2016 playoffs, and both head coaches in that game (Ben McAdoo and Mike McCarthy) are gone, as is Odell Beckham Jr.

Week 14: at Eagles

Monday, Dec. 9, 8:15 p.m.

Prime time games in the City of Brotherly Love have proven to be disastrous for Big Blue.

Week 15: vs. Dolphins

Sunday, Dec. 15, 1 p.m.

If both teams opt to not draft a quarterback, this game could be pivotal in the hunt for a QB in the Class of 2020.

Week 16: at Redskins

Sunday, Dec. 22, 1 p.m.

Giants embarrassed the Redskins last December when Saquon Barkey went crazy on the ground and the starters were done after three quarters.

Week 17: vs. Eagles

Sunday, Dec. 29, 1 p.m.

If the Giants surprise people this season and emerge as playoff contenders, the back-to-back against Washington and Philadelphia will be monumental in that chase.
