LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL COLLEGE BOWL CHALLENGE

Six handicappers make 15 college football bowl picks against the spread, based on lines and totals Wednesday night from 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.
