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 today and Friday. Each contestant selects 12 games against the spread, sides or totals, choosing from the 32 games on the betting board. Eleven of the picks are worth one point, and a Best Bet counts for two points. Any push is worth a half-point. The national champion pick is the tiebreaker.
