Doctor, Doctor give me the news, I've got a bad case of lovin' you!

Well, after two weeks, the Doctor is Lovin' the action in the LE12.  Here are the fearless predictions for week 3, along with tidbits of behind the scenes dirt on a few teams.

AVENGERS vs WHOOPERS - Talk about a great game, the doc needs tickets for this one!  The Avengers show some heart and squeak one out last week, while the whoopers stumble a bit and take a loss.  I look for these two teams to come down to the wire.  Talent on both sides is plenty,  I love McNabb and Boston along with the Edge heating up - Watch Out.  However, I look for Green, McAllister along with QB roulette to be too much this week.  Avengers squeak one out again - 82-80.

PRESIDENTS vs TERMINATORS - Once again the Doctor will say there is no way the Presidents are a 0-2 team!  This team just needs to hit on all cylinders.  On the other side you have the Terminators.  Here is a team that has decided not to be a doormat for the league this year.  The WR core is one of the most productive in the league, along with serious threats at the RB spot.  Rumor has it that the Presidents held a closed door meeting this week to "straighten out" the team.  Look for a fired up Presidents defense to hold the Terminators in check.  Presidents by 8.

BLITZKRIEG vs WARRIORS - This game is all 'O' no 'D'.  Rumor has it that "Both teams wanna win".  I look for the Blitz to get a win this week.  This team put up 112pts in a loss - Ouch!!!  They also have the #1 offense. The Warrors, however, have the #2 offense to go with the top ranked defense.  This should be a great divisional game and could come back to be critical at playoff time. 

VIPERS vs THUNDERBIRDS - An expansion team battle!  The Vipers seemed to have found the keys to the bus this past week.  Meanwhile the T-Birds just can't keep up with the Fun-n-Gun offense of the Lakefront division.  We tried to reach Owner Todd Cooper for comment, but our calls were not returned.  This really could be a battle of the cold RBs, Alexander vs Dillon.  I look for the Vipers to have just a bit to much in another close LE12 battle.  Vipers over the T-birds.

ARSENAL vs INVASION - Another big divisional battle.  Both of these teams are still trying to find the right combo.  It seems to the doctor that Culpepper/Moss is a bit more right than Holcomb/Owens.  I look for Coach Cuzzy to give it a good fight but fall to "Double A" ron's Arsenal.  A low scoring affair this week 75-69. 

MIRACLES vs MUSTANGS - One of the docs personal favorites.  These teams look to keep pace with the Terminators (did that sound right to you?).  This is a battle of which team comes to play, the one that can score points or the disappointing/frustrating one.  I see both teams being on their games this week.  We spoke to Miracles QB Peyton Manning about his matchup with the Texans this week. 

    Doctor Z:  "Peyton, are you going to get big this week?""

    Peyton: "Not big Doc, HUGE!"

    Doctor Z:  "Thanks, I think that about says it all."

The Doctor thinks that does say it all - Miracles 83 - Mustangs 78.
