Professional handicapper Scott Kellen held off legendary sportscaster Brent Musburger down the stretch to win the Review-Journal NFL Challenge.

Kellen (@SixthSenseNFL) went 3-2 against the spread in Week 18 to edge Musburger by 1½ points and win the contest with a 51-37-2 ATS record (58 percent). Musburger, a former RJ NFL Challenge champion, finished 50-39-1 ATS, and three-time RJ NFL Challenge champion Doug Fitz placed third at 49-40-1 ATS.
