Kerry v Donegal: Kerry to win
This game in Tralee on Saturday features my banker bet of the weekend. Donegal are going to be playing Tyrone on Sunday week in a knock-out game in the Ulster Championship, they are hardly going to bring their best players all the way down to Kerry and throw them into a dog fight eight days out from their biggest match of the year.
Kerry need the run-out more than Donegal do, as they play Cork in Munster on November 8 and will be crowned National League champions with a victory here. Donegal had a good win over Tyrone in the League last week, so they should now know what their team will be for the Championship encounter. I just can’t see Declan Bonner taking any risks with injuries and we should see a home win.
Fermanagh v Laois: Laois to win
Laois come into this one on the back of being stung by Westmeath last weekend. But, they are a tempting price to beat Fermanagh away at Brewster Park this weekend. Fermanagh have had well publicised issued with Covid-19 in recent weeks, and Laois can take advantage of the home side’s disjointed nature to end their League campaign on a high.

Kildare v Westmeath: Kildare to win
This will be the tightest game in my tips, as Kildare welcome Leinster rivals Westmeath to Newbridge. Lilywhites manager Jack O’Connor brought in a few new faces last weekend against Cavan and they played very well. I smell a home victory here.
