Kerry by 2.

Wouldn't bet against extra time and a replay.

Donegal for me. I think they'll wear Kerry down over the 70 minutes.

The opportunity for Jim McGuinness to cement his legacy or like 2014 All-Ireland final Kerry to be his kryptonite once more.

A rerun of 2014. What do you think of that Joe Brolly. Jimmy will want to ensure there isn't a second Kerry win in the feature.

A great contrast in styles. I said in the pre championship predictions that whoever knocked Armagh out would win Sam so I'll stick with that. Two very good teams though and should be an intriguing battle.

Its amusing when you talk to Donegal folk or observe Facebook comments.

There's a fierce self belief and almost entitlement to Sam this year.

Like the Oracle has seen Jim do it and its just a matter of prophecy playing itself out.

Kerry surely won't be as wasteful in possession but the fitness and fierceness of the fully operational Donegal Machine will be hard beat.

How Donegal manage Joe O'Connor will be very interesting. He has been immense for Kerry last two games and for me should be poty unless Clifford gets it. If they stop him it will have a massive influence in stopping Kerry. I think they have players that can stop paudie Clifford. David Clifford is a damage limitation job.

Donegal are a good team & deserve to be in the final but they beat 3 division 2 teams to get there. Kerry for me will have too much for them, the experience from beating 2 Ulster teams in the quarter and semi final will stand to them.

Assuming Kerry win they'll have beaten 4 Ulster teams in a row.

Jacks 8th all ireland final in 11 terms, thats a superb record whatever way you cut it.

Of this current Kerry group its their 3rd final in 4 years.

Not much point in us turning up. Sure we haven't played or beaten any Division 1 or Ulster teams this year, unlike Kerry.  :)

I could have swore you beat us, Monaghan, Down and Armagh. Must have dreamt that.

Whoever wins they will be the first team since Cork in 2010 to not automatically qualify for the Quarter Finals and win the All Ireland.

Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Jimmy will go left field and play Murphy on Clifford....

Donegal must surely be the first team ever to win the Ulster championship without beating an Ulster team.
