The Giants' 2-7 record in the conference makes that a virtually impossible path. So the division remains the most likely road to the playoffs -- even though it's still not likely at all. But believe it or not, there is one scenario (at least) where the Giants can win the division at 8-8 and on a tie-breaker.
Regarding this, can an 8 8 team make the playoffs?
Aside from the 1982 strike-shortened season, which had two 4-5 teams in the postseason, there have been 12 teams with 8-8 records or worse go to the playoffs in the league's history. Some of them actually ended up winning in the postseason!
Also know, do Giants have a chance at playoffs?
According to PFF, the Giants are slated for 7.3 wins with a 22.4-percent chance to make the playoffs and a 13.7-percent chance to win the division. The Giants are a longshot for the Super Bowl at 0.8 percent.
In conclusion, the Giants will not make the playoffs as expected, but their younger players will receive very beneficial playing time, making 2020 a more competitive campaign.
