Replying To OpenStand: "Going by Patricia power odds each week I will only regard a team as an upset outsider if they are 2/1 or greater, there's 9 matchs this weekend with 8 falling into outsiders ie 2/1 or greater .Offaly/Longford is tighter in the betting so no real outsiders . So in week one we have Antrim 10/1 London 13/2 New York 11/4 Clare 3/1 Waterford 5/1 Carlow 3/1 Wexford 11/4 Roscommon 3/1 Not sure any of them will win but Clare or Roscommon be best chance of upset" Rosscommon are a great price! countyman2022 (Wexford) - Posts: 643 - 07/04/2023 09:40:41 2469362 Link
I'd fancy Tyrone to bounce back in style this year after the flatlining of last. Still have the guts of the team that won All Ireland, and that alone makes them contenders, whether they go route or make the group stage after defeat.

Antrim to beat Armagh would be an upset although reading the posts in the Cavan forum it would seem that Armagh have got a "bye" already. s goldrick (Cavan) - Posts: 5518 - 07/04/2023 13:45:55 2469402 Link
Roscommon beating Mayo will not be a shock and beating Galway after that not a shock either. jacktheboy (Donegal) - Posts: 407 - 07/04/2023 13:57:19 2469408 Link
New York have a decent starting 15 named Depending on fitness this could be the year they get that win. OhtobeARossie (Roscommon) - Posts: 1764 - 07/04/2023 16:22:08 2469441 Link

Maybe you should put €10 euro on Antrim at 9/1 Goldrick and then you would have € 10 euro less when the match was over. Breffni1969 (Cavan) - Posts: 510 - 07/04/2023 16:23:05 2469442 Link
Looking at the NY team while the win will ne historic I don't think it'll be an upset. I'm sure Leitrim are aware but they'll also be schmoozing at events. Not boozing until after but their normal diet and training will be completely gone out the window. galwayfball (Galway) - Posts: 1679 - 07/04/2023 16:26:12 2469443 Link
Replying To mickcunningham: "westmeath beating louth will be the shock of the year" Longford could upset Offaly footballers on Sunday. We always get a tough match from the Longford men, this will be no different. No one seems to have included this possibility. thelongridge (Offaly) - Posts: 1749 - 07/04/2023 16:47:29 2469451 Link
Replying To Ollie2: "Louth getting to a Leinster final would be an upset. The last time they reached the Leinster was back in 2010. Before that it was 1960. The last time they won it was back in 1957. Louth only reached one Leinster semi-final since 1998 and that was in 2010. Big game against Westmeath in the Leinster Quarter-finals just over two weeks away were there is never much between the two teams. If they beat Westmeath they will play either Longford/Offaly or Meath in the semi-final. Longford beat Louth in 2020 in the Championship and Offaly beat Louth in 2021 in the Championship. Louth have not beaten Meath in the Championship since 1975. History is against us." Ahh Ollie my old friend Highly possible. They on easier side of draw. Probably their toughest match will be Westmeath. I'd be astounded if Meath beat either the way they're playing. In my 50+ years following Meath I have never seen them in such disarray and tbh clueless. We are in serious trouble and will be very lucky to get over either Offaly or Longford but I'd expect either Westmeath or louth to easily account for us on less something drastic has changed since league. So for me it's a Dublin louth final. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 07/04/2023 18:24:29 2469459 Link

Replying To legendzxix: "Upsets if they happen: Roscommon beating Mayo (Roscommon beating Galway) Clare or Limerick beating Cork Cavan beating Armagh Down beating Donegal (Cavan beating Donegal) Fermanagh beating Derry Westmeath beating Louth" Westmeath beating Louth would not be a shock at all. Westmeath have far greater pedigree in championship football in recent times than Louth do. Under MH, we have won only 1 of our 4 championship games in the last two years and while Kildare hammered us in the championship, Westmeath were far more competitive against Kildare in the Leinster semi-final. If anything, Westmeath should be favourites. PK57 (Louth) - Posts: 1656 - 10/04/2023 09:04:44 2469940 Link

Likewise none of the 4 in Hurling came up despite Antrim going close drawing making zero out of 4 to date. OpenStand (Limerick) - Posts: 677 - 23/04/2023 19:31:19 2472894 Link
