Las Vegas Review-Journal College Bowl Challenge picks
Five handicappers compete in a college football bowl contest. All 15 picks are made against the spread, according to lines and totals from Tuesday night at the Westgate SuperBook. Each winning pick is worth one point, a push is worth a half point and a best bet is worth two points. The best bet also will serve as a tiebreaker.
