We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Sunday, including action from college basketball, the NFL, NHL, and NBA.
One pick is taken from each sport and a winning ticket gives us a nice payout with odds at +1099 with DraftKings Sportsbook — that’s almost 11/1! Let’s break down each of these plays.
NFL: Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Los Angeles Rams +2.5 (+100), 3:00 pm ET
Fading Tom Brady in a playoff game is not a comfortable feeling, but his timing looked just a bit off on Sunday against the Eagles. The Rams’ pass rush and the Bucs’ injury issues along the offensive line will likely force Brady to rely on the quick passing game even more this week, which means rhythm with his wide receivers will be even more crucial. For that reason, backing the Rams to cover is the play.

College Basketball: Michigan Wolverines vs Indiana Hoosiers -4 (-110), 3:30 pm ET
Indiana being a home favorite is no surprise given what we have seen from these teams this season. Indiana has been much more consistent but the computers love the Wolverines, which is why the spread is not so big. Trayce Jackson-Davis has had a consistent career, so expect him to once again play like the best player on the floor. Take Indiana.

NBA: Philadelphia 76ers -2 (-110) vs San Antonio Spurs, 7:10 pm ET
San Antonio shouldn’t be a threat to the Sixers. They’ve dropped 11 of their last 14 games, and against the Eastern Conference they are on a 5-game losing streak. When it comes to defending the interior this team is really bad. They rank just 27th in points allowed in the paint with 49.9 per game. In their last 3 that number has jumped to 55.3 per game, and it’s hard to see how they can keep Joel Embiid under control. San Antonio is wrapping up a 7-game homestand, and they are 2-4 SU so far. Philadelphia won the teams’ meeting earlier this season by 19 points. Back the 76ers.

NHL: St. Louis Blues ML (-155) vs Vancouver Canucks, 10:00 pm ET
The Blues have won 5 of their last 6 games and 7 of their last 10. It took a while, but the Blues are now fully healthy. There isn’t a single starter on St. Louis’ injury list or COVID-19 protocol. The Blues rank 7th in goals against per game, 5th in goals per game, 4th in penalty-kill, and 3rd in power play. All of those rankings are higher than Vancouver’s. St. Louis also has better numbers than Vancouver in goal differential, save percentage, hit differential, blocked shot differential, and team plus/minus. The Blues have the full roster that has helped them put up those solid numbers and they’re playing a depleted Canucks team. St. Louis should roll in this matchup.
