The March Madness bracket is finally released, but with tournament games not starting until Thursday, we have to look for other games until then. This means it is time to have some fun and look for some of the best bets across all the different sports and pile them into one parlay. We’ve put together a four-pick cross-sport parlay which will take you right through the day, including action from the NHL, NBA, and the EPL.
Each pick is taken from a different sport with a second pick from the NHL. A winning ticket gives us a nice payout with odds at +1800 with BetMGM — more than 18/1! Let’s break down each of these four plays. Remember to gamble responsibly.
Best EPL Pick: Wolverhampton Wolves Double Chance (+125) vs. Liverpool, 4 p.m ET
The Reds 2-0 win against Leipzig in the first-leg of their Champions League proved to be a false peak for Jurgen Klopp’s side, who have now lost six of their last seven Premier League matches. The Reds have scored just five goals in their last seven matches and that has to be a real concern for Klopp’s team. Wolves have struggled to reach the heights of last season, but they have conceded just four goals in their last four home games and they look to have every chance of keeping the Reds’ misfiring forward line quiet.

Best NHL Pick: Vancouver Canucks -1.5 (+150) vs. Ottawa Senators, 7 p.m ET
The Vancouver Canucks are in the middle of a solid stretch of hockey. With their win on Saturday night against the Edmonton Oilers, they are now 5-2 in their last seven games. The Senators on the other hand, are by far the worst team in the league defensively. They are allowing an average of 4.03 goals against per game. As a result, I don’t think the Canucks will have any trouble here as the Senators are on a back-to-back.

Best NHL Pick: Chicago Blackhawks vs. Florida Panthers ML (-175), 7 p.m ET
The Florida Panthers have won three in a row and five of their last six. Sergei Bobrovsky had 30 saves vs Chicago the other night and is 5-0 in his last five starts with a .917 save percentage and 2.78 goals-against average. After a hot start, the Blackhawks have now lost three of their last four and over their last six games have allowed an average of 4.0 goals per game. The Panthers will likely continue to be too much for Chicago to handle as they look to win their fourth straight game.

Best NBA Pick: Golden State Warriors ML (+115) vs. Los Angeles Lakers, 10:30 p.m ET
This will be the first game played in San Francisco between these two teams, where the Golden State Warriors have won 13 of 19 games so far this year. The Lakers are still without Anthony Davis and have won just four of the last 10 games that he has missed. Marc Gasol is also unavailable and considering that the Warriors are the weakest on the inside, the absence of these two players could really impact the Lakers chances of success here. With Draymond Green in the fold for the Warriors and him being one of the few players who can slow down LeBron James, it will be tough for the Lakers to click into gear here.
