Four-pick cross-sport parlay for Friday (+993 odds): College Basketball, College Football, NBA, and NHL

We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Friday, including action from college basketball, college football, the NHL, and NBA.

One pick is taken from each sport and a winning ticket gives us a nice payout with odds at +993 with DraftKings; that’s more than 9/1! Let’s break down each of these plays.

College Basketball: Kansas Jayhawks vs St. John’s Red Storm – Over 157 points (-110), 7pm ET

Kansas and St. John’s each rank in the Top 50 in adjusted tempo per KenPom and average over 71 possessions per game. Per Hoop-Math, both teams shoot over 33.5% of their initial shots in transition with an effective FG% over 63%. A lot of these transition attempts turn into high-percentage looks for both teams too, as each shoot over 45% of transition shots at the rim. With so many high-percentage shots in a game that is expected to have so many possessions, it is hard to look anywhere but over.

College Football: Western Kentucky Hilltoppers -3.5 (-110) vs UTSA Roadrunners, 7pm ET

The Hilltoppers are second in the nation in offensive success rate on standard downs, and rank behind only Coastal Carolina in predicted points added and passing-down success rate. The Hilltoppers were -3.5 favorites when these teams first squared off in October, and that game came down to a goal-line stand by UTSA to seal a 1-possession victory. Since that point, the Hilltoppers have been a machine — and this line doesn’t take into account the defensive regression from the Roadrunners in recent weeks. Take Western Kentucky to win and cover.

NBA: Miami Heat vs Indiana Pacers -5.5 (-110), 7:10pm ET

When these teams met in Indiana in the second game of the season the Heat were favored by 3.5 points and lost outright in overtime. Six weeks later we see the Pacers -5.5 at home and the adjustment is purely the respective health of the two teams. Miami is missing its 2 best players while Indiana is missing a couple of rotation reserves. The adjustment makes a lot of sense and I expect the Pacers to beat the Heat once again, this time more comfortably — no overtime required. Look for their frontcourt to really have a great game.

NHL: New Jersey Devils vs Winnipeg Jets ML (-175), 8:08pm ET

Winnipeg has been stingy defensively so far this season, giving up an average of 2.68 goals per game. That is good for the 7th-best mark in the league. Connor Hellebuyck has found a bit of a groove in net, as he has allowed 2 goals or fewer in 9 of his last 10 games. Hellebuyck is 5-1-1 with a strong .929 save-percentage and 2.11 GAA in 7 career starts against the Devils. Look for Hellebuyck to lead the Jets to victory tonight. It’s also worth noting that the Jets have won 7 of their last 8 meetings against the Devils going back to 2016. Take Winnipeg at home.
