DMack's Thursday NFLX Bonus Play is on the Oakland Raiders 

DMack's MLB Total of the Week is on the Indians/Mets Under (Civale/Syndergaard) 

Both team are embroiled in pennant races and both teams will need to play "playoff" baseball the final five weeks to not get left out. The Tribe has been struggling (2-6 L8) but Aaron Civale (1.88) has done his part and will need to here against Syndergaard (1-1, 1.98, L4) who is in his best form of the year and is also making his case to get paid in his penultimate year under Mets control. With minor involvement from the pens, runs figure to be tough to come by here. Take the under. 

DMack's Thursday NFLX "Go Game" Super Play is on the New England Patriots 

Week III used to be known as "Go Week" or "The Dress Rehearsal" where the starters would generally play the first half and a series or two into the third quarter. This hasn't been the case for the most part over the last five years thanks to preferred work in joint practices with other teams for several days at a time. Tom Brady may or may not see time here but regardless, this is as deep a Patriot team defensively as we've seen in a long time and there is still major competition for the wide receiver spots with 2-3 reportedly still up for grabs. Ron Rivera has little to prove here, has never had qualms about laying down in past, and would figure to have a top priority of getting out of Dodge healthy and ready for Week One. See the Pats rolling here with roster cuts just 10 days away and jobs still up in the air. New England 27-13.
