We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Sunday night, including action from the MLS, NBA, NFL and NHL.
One pick is taken from each sport and a winning ticket gives us a nice payout with odds at +1014 with DraftKings; that’s more than 10/1! Let’s break down each of these plays.
NFL: Tennessee Titans vs Indianapolis Colts ML (-155), 1pm ET
The Colts’ passing attack is legitimately dynamic now as young receiver Michael Pittman Jr. has turned into a bona fide star. Now is the time to fade Tennessee off their huge wins over the Bills and Chiefs. Both those games came at home, and I’m not as impressed with the Titans as everybody else. Tennessee wants to run the ball, but run defense is a strength of this Colts team. It’s not easy to run the ball on a defensive front anchored by DeForest Buckner. The Colts can win this one and get back in the division race.

MLS: Nashville SC +0.5 (-145) vs Orlando City SC, 4pm ET
It’s impressive what Nashville SC have been able to accomplish in just their second season in the league. Nashville have been undoubtedly the toughest team to beat in 2021, losing just 4 times, and while their lack of scoring throughout most of the season has led to more ties than they’d hoped for, Nashville certainly picked the right time of the year for an offensive explosion.
Orlando City looked throughout much of the first half to be one of the top competitors in the East, but they’ve faltered over the course of the year, and haven’t had any semblance of consistency from one match to the next. They are coming off a disappointing 3-2 loss to Columbus, so take Nashville to tie or win.

NHL: Columbus Blue Jackets ML (+110) vs New Jersey Devils, 5:08pm ET
The last time the Columbus Blue Jackets were on the ice, they were blanked by the New York Rangers. They look to bounce back against a team they have dominated recently, winning 9 of the last 10 meetings with the Devils.
While the offenses in this game are very similar, what gives the Blue Jackets the edge is they will have Elvis Merzlikins in between the pipes. He owns a record of 4-1-0 while allowing just over 1 goal a game with a .939 save percentage. Trust in Merzlikins and take the Blue Jackets on the money line.

NBA: Detroit Pistons vs Brooklyn Nets – Under 212 points (-110), 7:40pm ET
All but one of Brooklyn’s first 6 games of the season have been low-scoring, at least by their standards. Their highest points total of the season is 114 points, which indicates they are still searching for their rhythm. The total has gone under in all 6 of their games so far and in 4 of their last 5 at home. They are averaging just 102.5 points per game, which ranks them 25th in the NBA and against a very solid defensive team like Detroit points won’t be coming easily.
The Pistons are even worse when it comes to scoring at just 97.2 per game, which is 3 spots below tonight’s opponents. With Cade Cunningham finally making his debut, they now have an obligation to integrate him into the offense, which could be an issue. Expect a slower-paced game which could result in a lower-scoring affair. Back the under with confidence.
