We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Friday, including action from college football, college basketball, the NBA, and NHL.
One pick is taken from each sport and a winning ticket gives us a nice payout with odds at +1202 with DraftKings; that’s more than 12/1! Let’s break down each of these plays.
College Basketball: Ohio Bobcats vs Kentucky Wildcats -12 (-115), 7pm ET
This is not just SEC vs MAC, it is Kentucky vs Ohio in Rupp Arena. Of course, Kentucky is favored but by not nearly enough. This is a much more veteran Wildcats team than we are used to but they are still very talented from top to bottom. The starters should take Kentucky into a lead and they are not likely to fritter it away. Both of these teams have played Robert Morris. Ohio won by 14 points while Kentucky won by 40. Take Kentucky.

NBA: Los Angeles Lakers vs Boston Celtics – Under 215 points (-115), 7:40pm ET
The Celtics have been one of the best defensive teams in the NBA during November, ranking 2nd in defensive efficiency across their last 8 games. Tonight, Boston should continue to find success against a Los Angeles lineup that is scoring only 107.7 points per 100 possessions with LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Russell Westbrook on the floor together.
The under has further value considering that LeBron’s return to action would greatly improve a Lakers’ defense that was worse than league-average in his absence. The under is a very strong play tonight at the TD Garden.

College Football: Air Force Falcons ML (-110) vs Nevada Wolfpack, 9pm ET
Air Force has gone 4-0 on the road this season while Nevada is 5-0 at home in 2021. Something will have to give as both teams have looked impressive in the Mountain West. In Nevada’s 3 losses this season, it has allowed 205, 186, and 269 rushing yards while it rushed for a combined 80 yards itself in the three losses. Air Force will string together long drives to keep this potent passing attack off the field and Nevada could have a hard time stopping their strong rushing attack. Take Air Force.

NHL: Winnipeg Jets ML (-105) vs Vancouver Canucks, 10:08pm ET
The Jets have the edge in every statistic. Starting on offense, the Jets are in the top 7 in goals, goals per game and expected goals per 60 minutes, where the Canucks rank in the bottom 10 in the same categories. Defensively, the Canucks are averaging 3.41 goals against per game to the Jets’ 2.6. The goaltending matchup is even lopsided as projected starter Thatcher Demko for the Canucks ranks 62nd out of 71 goalies in goals saved above expected, while projected starter for the Jets, Eric Comrie, ranks 15th. Even though the Jets played last night, take them on the money line as they are still the far superior team.
