The bowl season picks back up tonight with a can’t miss match-up (I jest, of course, but if you are a football fanatic like myself it is the only game on the tube tonight) between Louisville and Southern Miss in what is being called the Beef 'O' Brady's St. Petersburg Bowl. If you missed the big news, these teams almost got into a little fisticuffs during the bowl week festivities over a dance competition by the hotel pool. If these two teams did not have something to play for already, they sure do now!
I am working on a short piece for tomorrow over whether I prefer Michael Vick or Tom Brady for the NFL MVP this year. Let’s just say the answer is pretty clear to me.

Beef ‘O’ Brady’s St. Petersburg Bowl – St. Petersburg, FL
Louisville (-2.5) over Southern Miss – This is Louisville’s first bowl appearance since the 2006 Orange Bowl and they are playing for a first year coach in Charlie Strong who is trying to build a winning attitude in his program. I think the Cardinals will be fired up for this one while Southern Miss has little to play for (except for the whole dance-off mess) besides pride against a BCS conference opponent. Louisville is strong up front on the offensive line and should be able to pound RB Bilal Powell enough to bring home the victory.
