Laois manager Mick Lillis has pointed to Dublin's embarrassment of riches.
The Dubs are 1/100 to account for the O'Moore men in Nowlan Park on Saturday night and Lillis accepts that the reigning Leinster, league and All-Ireland champions are a class act:
"Look, let's be honest, not only do they have fantastic athletes, fantastic footballers, but the depth of talent they have is well beyond everybody else's scope at this stage," he told Midlands 103.
"They have loads of other personnel to bring in and change things around and shake things up a bit so they have a huge advantage in that way. It's no longer a 15-man game; nearly every game is a 21-man game. Dublin have fantastic resources.
"I'm sure they have a nightmare at times picking the team, even though the team is very settled because they have huge competition. They have huge resources on the bench, which is very advantageous for them."
