Longford had 5 indicate spare over Carlow when the sides fulfilled in round 5 of the league, beating them 1-19 to 1-14, so it is slightly unexpected to see them as big as 7-4 to win Saturday's final.

In a remarkable late rally, Longford originated from 11 points down to beat Wicklow by a point last weekend, sealing promotion and a slot in the Division 4 final, and they look overpriced to continue their celebrations.

Down vs Wexford

7.15 pm Saturday, TG4

The only final that looks cut and dried this weekend is the Divsion 3 decider where Down can show a level above surprise plans Wexford.

Westmeath were on their way to the last, holding a two-point lead with only seconds staying last weekend, however a late smash-and-grab raid from Wexford courtesy of a Sean Ryan goal secured the unlikliest of promotions.

The celebrations were wild at the last whistle and rightly so, but Mark McHugh and his Wexford side might be in for an impolite awakening at head office this weekend. It will not be easy coming down from such a huge high.

Down have actually already hammered them by 10 points - 1-29 to 1-19 - on their home spot and some flatware will be a really huge deal for the Mourne males, who will have aspirations of making an impact in the Ulster championship. Wexford look set to be whipping young boys in the Leinster one.

Wexford conceded 2-17 to Clare in round six and 1-18 to Westmeath last weekend having actually been quite tight defensively prior to that and it is tough to envisage them keeping Pat Havern and Odhran Murdock quiet. Those are 2 quality enemies who will enjoy getting back to Croke Park.

Down might win this by a double-figure margin and backing them to defy a five-point handicap looks the very best bet of the weekend. They could net a few along the way.

Cork vs Meath

1.45 pm Sunday, TG4

Cork and Meath clashed in 3 All-Ireland finals within the area of 4 years in between 1987 and 1990 and again in 1999. There was a huge rivalry in between the two counties in those days however current years have been barren for both sides.

Meath have emerged from nowhere under Robbie Brennan and reached last year's All-Ireland semi-final, while Cork could, and most likely should, have actually beaten Kerry in last year's Munster championship.

There were just 2 points in between the sides when they met at Pairc Ui Rinn in round four when a scoring rise at the end of the first half put the hosts in a fantastic position and they handled to hold on at the end of the game.

Meath have because beaten Kildare by 14, Tyrone by five and Offaly by 10, so it's not a surprise to see them head into the Division 2 decider as small favourites.

Both these groups play an appealing brand of football and Meath have scored a minimum of one goal in each of their last six outings. Indeed, they have actually got 10 of them because time and might have got more had they gone looking for them late in their current tussle with Offaly.

Cork have stopped working to find the web in 2 of their last three outings, but Chris Og Jones will relish the possibility of playing at Corke Park and his rate has the prospective to cause the Meath rearguard all sorts of concerns.

You can get odds-against about three or more goals in the game and that looks value as it looks more like an odds-on shot.

Donegal vs Kerry

4pm Sunday, TG4

The Division 1 league final is an uncommon types. Usually groups don't truly seem to care whether they win it or not as their sole focus is on the forthcoming championship campaign so it will be intriguing to see what sort of approach Jim McGuinness and Jack O'Connor take this year. Will they wish to provide declarations of intent, or will it be another round of shadow boxing?

The very best guess seems that McGuinness may desire to put down a marker for the summertime and will throw the cooking area sink at it. If he does, that will indicate making life extremely challenging for David Clifford and co in advance for Kerry. If Donegal are going to treat this like a championship clash, which appears more than likely, the structures will be dug at the back. An open, high-scoring shootout is no excellent to them. Kerry would win that every day of the week and two times on Sunday. They need to keep it tight and turn it into a battle.

Donegal handled to keep Kerry to 1-18 when the sides fulfilled in round 2 and the overall points line looks too expensive at 46.5.

In 2015's last produced an overall of only 36 points as Kerry strolled past Mayo by a scoreline of 1-18 to 1-12 and if either group gets to 21 points this year it must suffice, too.

The worst-case scenario for these sides heading into the champion is a hammering and it is difficult to see McGuinness allowing that to occur to Donegal. Nor Jack O'Connor to Kerry. This will be tight, and while in 2015's champs Kerry may have a small edge in advance, it is difficult to be determined that they will defy a two-point handicap.

Donegal have taken their foot off the throttle in current years and conceded 2-20 to Roscommon and 3-15 to Monaghan in the last two rounds. But prior to those two games their typical concession was under 19 points per video game and they kept clean sheets versus Dublin, Mayo, Armagh and Galway. That is a huge accomplishment under the new guidelines and Kerry will do well to create a substantial rating in the decider versus such a well-drilled defensive unit.

Please remember to gamble properly
