Chiefs vs. Downfall Betting Preview

Even though I don’t think Chiefs are much better than Downfall, and that they don’t deserve to take a massive favorite role, I am backing them to get a win here. Be cautious with your stake, though, and don’t push your luck with handicap betting, because I am not sure Chiefs will get a 2-0 victory. Go with a straight win instead.
