Review-Journal sports betting reporter Todd Dewey competes against South Point studio host Alex White, VSiN host Wes Reynolds and professional handicappers Doug Fitz, Bruce Marshall, Kelly Stewart and Paul Stone in a contest covering NCAA Tournament games Thursday and Friday.
Each contestant selects 12 games against the spread, sides or totals, choosing from the 28 games that were on the betting board before the First Four. The lines were taken Tuesday from the Westgate SuperBook. Eleven of the picks are worth one point, a best bet counts for two points, and a push is worth a half-point.
The national champion pick is the tiebreaker.
The contest will continue in the Sweet 16.
