🔥 THE SHIT TALK

Kian owns the historical edge, which means Henry gets another chance to pretend the previous 17 meetings were all bad luck. Kian took the last meeting 147.08–136.98. The history lean is Kian; if that goes to shit by Sunday night, nobody gets to act surprised because this league is run by idiots.
