Dublin at 7/4 looks value vs Galway minus Canning.

Will wait for teams but Kilkenny at home look the bet.

Galway/Cork/ Offaly all to win

Clare/Limerick too close to call

Antrim  ast home ? but wiil be missing loughiel lads

cork-3 and kilkenny-2 look like the bets of the weekend.
antrim in belfast look tsty but you would expect liam dunnes wexford  to be aiming for a good league run. any body have any account of how yhey are training. or offaly either,they are staying very quite.
the other games are too hard to call but i fancy westmeath to beat the spread against kerry, should be around 3pts

[Joeythelips]

Kilkenny, Cork & Dublin for me. Reckon Limerick will win also but will leave them for now.

Yea I'd agree with the lads there but it's not as straightforward as I thought it would be the other day.
Strongly fancied KK & Cork.
However Waterford have named a much stronger team than I expected & although I still fancy Cork,I'm not so sure if I'll part with money to trust them.
KK have 12 of the all ireland side starting but Brennan,Shefflin & Richie Hogan are serious losses to the forward line.We knew about the first two but Hogan being out worries me.Money has gone down on KK,they've gone into 8/15 from 8/11.Tipp have 7/8 changes from last September & I do think their forwards will struggle against that KK backline again tomorrow.I'll wait till tomorrow.
You could do worse than backing the draw between Limerick & Clare tonight.
