Tyrone to win this easily.
A few people expecting Offaly to push them all the way and I might agree were it not for a couple of reasons. Anton Sullivan is out for the year with a shoulder injury. Brian Connor has gone to America for the summer. In my mind, that's two of our top three players gone. There are other panel members gone to america but their loss wouldn't be felt as strongly.
I know Tyrone have their own problems but they have a stronger squad than Offaly and are better equipped to handle such losses. The Offaly lads will give it a good rattle but I'd expect Tyrone to take it by around 8-10 points.
