Welcome

Ladies and Gentlemen (though mainly gentlemen, I would suspect), it is my pleasure to welcome you to the Second Annual Graziano Brothers College Bowl Point Spread Bonanza.

As the title indicates, my brothers and I did this last year. It's a massive college football bowl pool in which we pick every single bowl game (there are, believe it or not, 34 of them now) against the point spread. Each bowl is assigned a point value, with points increasing as the calendar moves along and the games get more significant.

In addition, as you will see on this site in the coming weeks, there is a staggering number of potential bonus points. You will designate one of your picks as a "LOCK" and another as a "SUPER-LOCK" and will get bonus points if you get those games correct.

We also group games together for additional bonus points. For instance, last year there was a "Bobby Bowden's Belly Bonus" -- a 10-point bonus for anybody who correctly picked all five of the bowl games played in the state of Florida. There was also a "Homer Simpson Bonus" for anybody who correctly picked all six of the bowl games whose sponsors had something to do with food.

We are currently working through the bonus structure, and of course we won't know for a couple of weeks what all the matchups are, let alone the spreads. But if you're interested, please contact me at grazdanny@yahoo.com, and I will make sure you are alerted when it's time to pick games.

The first bowl game is the EagleBank Bowl in Washington, D.C. at 11 am Eastern Time on Saturday, Dec. 20. All picks will be due by kickoff of that game. Meantime, enjoy the periodic updates on this site, click the links on the right to check out dates, times and projected matchups for each bowl, and please feel free to weigh in with any suggestions regarding potential bonuses.

And of course, please feel free to refer your friends and family to this site. The more the merrier, after all...

Thanks,

Dan G.
