Kerry slowing down by 6
Dublin with the handbrake on by 3 - just to let them dream.
Cork by 8 - Rossies demoralised again.
Donegal by 4 - Mayo aren't really the team folk think.

This is where I get confused , all media so far even our own have gone for Donegal . In the prediction thread here it's an overwhelming majority going for Donegal yet these type of comments are made "mayo aren't really the team folk think they are "

Walk-in down mchale rd , sun out, summers day , game day . That's all .

What are the implications if Kerry beat Meath by a smaller margin than Mayo or Donegal (9 points). I guess it'll put them in second place likely if Donegal win meaning the play Dublin in the semifinals.
It won't be the next manager but the one after that Meath will become competitive again - MO'D 2016

In that scenario, Dublin will roll over in Healy park, Tyrone will fall over the place and it will be a farce who tries to lose the most.

Ah hardly. Dublin aren't going to dodge anyone. They'll beat Tyrone handily enough this weekend and will have no fear of Kerry at all.

Any chance ye'd beat kerry? It'd mean we'd finish top with a win in castlebar  ;D

If Dublin rest O'Callaghan, Mannion, Rock, mccaffery etc then Tyrone playing at home will have a better chance of winning. Remember in March Tyrone beat Dublin in Croke Park and that game had more at stake than Sunday's dead rubber.

1. Regardless of margins, if Kerry win and Donegal don't win, Kerry are top.
2. If Kerry win by the same or a greater margin than what Donegal win by, Kerry are top
3. If Donegal win by 2 more than what Kerry win by, Donegal are top.
4. If Donegal win by exactly 1 more than what Kerry win by, then whichever team scores the most this Saturday finishes top (both currently have 48 points scored)
5. If Donegal win by 1 more than Kerry, and both teams score the same amount on Saturday - it's a tie for top spot -teams play-off.
6. If Kerry draw and Donegal draw, Kerry are top.
7. If Kerry draw and Donegal lose, Kerry are top, Mayo are 2nd.
8. If Kerry lose and Donegal draw, Donegal are top, Kerry are 2nd.
9. If Kerry lose and Donegal lose, Mayo are top, 2nd spot decided similar to points 2. to 5. but in reverse.

Much easier for those simpler Mayo folk - win and you're through, fail to win and you're out.

A 1 point loss for Kerry would guarantee Kerry getting through in 2nd spot.

Forget March, Dublin are in championship mode now. There's starting places up for grabs for Dublin so anyone on the field will be making sure the Jim takes notice. Dublin have unrivaled depth to their squad so injuries aren't going to hurt them as much as they would Tyrone. If anyone takes this one easy it's Tyrone.

Depth to their panel however only about 4 starting spots open as Cluxton, Cooper, McCaffrey, McMahon, McCarthy, Fenton, Kilkenny, Howard, Rock, Mannion and O'Callaghan will all likely start the All Ireland semi final.

If Tyrone as you say take this game easy then yes they won't be winning regardless of what team Dublin field.
