Last weekend looked very much like it would be a dull start to the Championship. Perhaps some gave Cavan a shout. Wicklow and Waterford, not so much. The one-off occasion, the cup competitions, they undoubtedly produce the biggest upsets.

Should Meath beat Dublin this weekend, it would trump all we saw last weekend, with The Dubs priced as low as 1/50 in certain quarters.
