This year, CBS's biggest competition for viewers during the Super Bowl's halftime could come from half-dressed models.

Underwear-clad women playing a seven-on-seven "Lingerie Bowl" will be shown live on pay-per-view during halftime for a mere $19.95, thanks to Hollywood-based Horizon Productions Inc. and sponsor PartyPoker.com.

To add some credibility, the two coaches are NFL Hall of Fame members: running back Eric Dickerson, formerly of the Los Angeles Rams and Indianapolis Colts; and linebacker Lawrence Taylor, a former New York Giant.

If football-playing women in their under things isn't your thing, other networks have movies and marathons lined up to compete against the Super Bowl. Here are some of the options:
