Paul Flynn's All-Ireland SFC quarter-final predictions

Ahead of a busy weekend of All-Ireland Football action, six-time All-Ireland winner Paul Flynn looks ahead to the action.

You've got quarter-finals whereby all the teams coming into them will actually feel like they can win it.

First up we've got Roscommon and Armagh. This is an interesting one. You've got the ferocity of the Armagh defence playing up against the flair of the Roscommon attack.

Davy Burke and a couple of the players after the (Tyrone) game were mentioning that they feel that they're peaking now at the right time and whether that's by design or whether it's just because of the form that they're bringing into the game, it's a great place to be psychologically coming to the quarter-final in Croke Park.
