# Conor Orr: Orr projects the Giants to finish 6-11 in 2026 under new head coach John Harbaugh, with a 1-6 start before the Week 8 bye and a 5-5 finish afterward, their lone first-half win coming at home against Arizona. **Claimed:** Aug 7, 2026 **Pundit:** Conor Orr — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/conor-orr **Outlet:** Sports Illustrated — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/sports-illustrated **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.si.com/nfl/giants/onsi/giants-2026-record-prediction-6-11-why-wrong-01kzc8834rq2 13 checkable claims — 12 game outcome picks and 1 season win total — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 6 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 6 of 13 have settled so far, averaging 41.7 out of 100, against 58.3 for a naive guess at the same calls. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room. > Orr came up with a 6-11 record for the Giants, including a 1-6 record to start the season before they hit their bye in Week 8. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims -
