    I never know with Donegal... the can challenge Armagh on their day but I expect them to win by a point or 2 .. corl shouldnt have problems. If your putting money on this I would say Armagh to win by 1-3 points and I couldnt guess the margin of the other game with will either be very tight or 7-10 point win imo

    One would have to fancy Cork and Armagh for these games. Yes, the handicap betting looks enticing ok but I'd still be reluctant to have a big punt on it. I do think Armagh will beat Donegal by 5/6 points but it's very hard to assess Cork. I'm living in Cork and most football fans are quite happy with the team. It's possibly the strongest Cork team for a number of years however one never knows. All in all I'd say go for it, it's a good bet.

    You'd definitely have to go with Cork and Armagh. Armagh are on a mission this year and will be hard to stop. Even though Donegal are a tougher team than Clare, Armagh are more likely to come through than Cork are.

    I agree with the above but Armagh have a tendency to shoot themselves in the foot every now and again by throwing in a poor performance. Having said that I would expect them to overcome Donegal by a 3 point margin. Cork are very quiet and it is hard to know how strong they are. I think they could be dark horses and would not be surprised to see them take Kerry by surprise in the munster championship.

    I hope Limerick take Kerry before that, but failing that, yes it would be nice to see Cork take them.

    Think Cork will come through comfortably, they had a very bad Championship last year and will wnat to bounce back.

    Armagh have had a problem with being too complacent and believing their own hype in the past. Hopefully for their fans they can get over it this year.

    I hope Donegal give them a batter test than Fermanagh, which they should, but I think Armagh will get through.
