Las Vegas Review-Journal Madness Challenge
LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL MADNESS CHALLENGE
The Review-Journal’s Adam Hill, Kelly Stewart and Matt Youmans compete with handicappers Doug Fitz and Ken Thomson 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.
