Mayo clear favourites lads for the Armagh game or not much in it? 

Mayo will win that by 4 or 5 points,cant see anything but a fairly comfortable win.

Mayo are 1/3, -4 11/10.

Armagh will rattle mayo. +4 a good bet.

Watching the 1977 All Ireland Final between Dublin and Armagh on TG4. It's amazing the difference between now and then. It's literally just leather the ball as hard as you can down the field and hope for the best. The standard of shooting is woeful, what we would consider very straight forward chances for intercounty footballers being missed by a mile. An Armagh lad just blatantly threw a ball to a team mate under no pressure resulting in a free in front of the posts. Basic skills in possession constantly letting lads down. Dublin clearly a lot better than Armagh but to compare them to any intercounty team now a days, even the likes of your Waterfords or Wicklows, even if they got up to the same fitness levels, I think they'd be eaten alive.
