The Buildup, in association with Ladbrokes is our weekly podcast where we mark your card for the sporting action of the week ahead in the company of Ladbrokes ambassadors Kevin Doyle, Stephen Ferris and Jason Quigley.

It wasn't to be last week for Stephen Kenny and Ireland but Kevin Doyle looks back with a positive eye - we're not that far away! 

Kevin also looks ahead to a massive weekend of Premier League action and plays Ladbrokes 1-2-Free where you can win €100 cash for correctly predicting the scores in three of this weekend's games.

Intercounty GAA is finally back this weekend too, and Mark's Big Shout has him all excited and he predicts the Allianz Football League games. If you've a Big Shout of 25/1 or over, send us an email at thegaffer@balls.ie and you could win the coveted grand prize of two cakes and a sports biography. 

We also get Mick's NFL picks ahead of the Week 5 of the season, after a couple of good weeks.
