We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Saturday, including action from college basketball, college football, the NBA, and NHL.
One pick is taken from each sport and a winning ticket gives us a nice payout with odds at +1005 with DraftKings; that’s more than 10/1! Let’s break down each of these plays.
College Football: Miami Hurricanes -2.5 (-110) vs Florida State Seminoles, 3:30pm ET
Six of Miami’s 9 games this season have been within 1 score and the Hurricanes have looked comfortable in the close contests, going 4-2. This game should also be close and Florida State has gone just 1-2 in 3 games this season that have been decided by a field goal. Miami is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games, 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against Florida State and 5-1 in their last 6 road games against Florida State.
Meanwhile, the Seminoles are just 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 at home. Additionally, they are just 2-4 SU at home this season and Miami has averaged 40 ppg on the road in 2021. The Hurricanes will move the ball through the air and can win this game in a shootout.

NHL: Arizona Coyotes vs Nashville Predators (Win in regulation) (-170), 8:08pm ET
The Nashville Predators welcome the Arizona Coyotes to Bridgestone Arena on Saturday night for a Western Conference showdown. The Coyotes are playing on the second half of a back-to-back, while Nashville has not played since Thursday. Arizona has been the worst team in hockey up to this point. They are 1-12-1 on the year, and have yet to win on the road. Things won’t get any easier in this one as they go up against a tough Nashville team that is 8-5-1 on the year.
Arizona is averaging just 1.57 goals per game, and they have been held to one goal or less in 9 games already this season. The money line price on Nashville is pretty steep, so turn to the 3-way line, as the Preds should be able to take care of business in regulation.

NBA: Boston Celtics -3 (-110) vs Cleveland Cavaliers, 8:10pm ET
Bettors have loved the Celtics lately as they’ve covered in 5 games straight, they’ve also gone 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games and have beaten the Cavaliers 9 times in the last 11 attempts.
Both teams played last night, both teams are missing key starters due to injury and both teams have won 4 of their last 5 games. Boston has had the tougher schedule out of the two, at least on paper. With Cleveland still adjusting to life without Collin Sexton, I think this game will show just how much they’ll miss him the rest of the season. Give me the Celtics to cover the spread.

College Basketball: Texas Longhorns vs Gonzaga Bulldogs -7.5 (-110), 10:30pm ET
Gonzaga is the top team in the country and this is a true home game, so that is why we are getting such a significant spread. Texas has plenty of talent, but I do agree with the Zags being the best team. I think that will show on Saturday night. I am not sure why this one is not in prime time but I do feel certain in what I know about the Zags with Drew Timme and other players who are familiar with the Gonzaga way. It won’t feel like a blowout when you are watching it, but they can cover. Their offense will overwhelm a defense that is not elite just yet. Take Gonzaga.
