Replying To winatallcost: "Alot of interesting games around the country this weekend and there may be even more riding on these games rather than last round where faith is decided of many. Dublin v Armagh probably biggest in div. 2 and expect a tight affair which could go either way. Kerry v Mayo seems to have alot of hype. Kerry likely to have a strong team out. Seems to be alot of positivity in Mayo but of they take another hefty beating as they did against Donegal, not sure where they will stand come championship. I expect Kerry to win by 5 or 6. Div 2 lots of insteresting matches at both ends. Could be a few surprises to make for an interesting last round. Derry have recovered from a poor 1st round but Louth away certainly no gimmie. Meath v Tyrone an interesting clash. Cork should overcome Kildare."
Mayo beat Kerry and Donegal in the league last year and it didn't count for much come championship. People get really worked up about these games but they'll be forgotten about again by June.

Mayo were always a good league team, interesting to see if we end up in league final v Kerry, I'd rather we played a weakened team from here on, give the squad a run out. tough ask to beat Kerry 3 times in the 1 year, rather beat them in July.

As I said before League form has no bearing on the Championship. Most teams use it to blood young players and extend the panel of players they can use.
