Pre draw odds to win Tailteann
The thing is that winning your group in this (and in Sam) is key so Group 4 might not be a bad group to be in for Fermanagh as they got the 2nd weakest 2nd seed, the weakest 3rd seed and the strongest 4th seed.
Can't figure out how Cavan are such strong favorites for this apart from a few good performances in the early stages of the league (which i now put down to been further ahead on fitness than the opposition) the last few games have been poor.
Yeah I'm a bit puzzled too.
I wonder if they are being over-rated a bit because of the final result against Armagh?
To me it was a game where Armagh took their foot of the pedal and Cavan got a run of scores that made the scoreline look a lot closer than it should have been.
I would think Cavan definitely have a good chance to win it (a lot will depend on how they approach it [like all the other teams] but I wouldn't be backing them at those odds with a stolen bookies money. Offaly and Down are the ones who look like potential value options in the backing stacks at the moment.
