Las Vegas Review-Journal Challenge picks
The Review-Journal’s Adam Hill and Todd Dewey compete with handicappers Kelly Stewart, Doug Fitz and Paul Stone in a contest covering NCAA Tournament games Thursday and Friday. Each contestant selects five games against the spread, sides or totals, choosing from the eight games on the betting board. Four of the picks are worth one point, and a Best Bet counts for two points. Any push is worth a half-point. Each contestant made 12 picks in last week’s first round. The national champion pick is the tiebreaker.
