We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Tuesday, including action from Champions League, college basketball and the NHL.
One pick is taken from each sport with a second pick from college basketball. A winning ticket would give us a nice payout with odds at +1219 with DraftKings Sportsbook. Let’s break down each of these plays.
Champions League: Chelsea vs Lille – Under 2.5 goals (+100), 3:00 pm ET
The goals have dried up for Thomas Tuchel’s men recently and they needed a late strike from Hakim Ziyech to secure a 1-0 EPL win at Crystal Palace on Saturday. Romelu Lukaku’s struggles to make an impact on the game dominated the headlines after the trip to Selhurst Park and Chelsea’s forwards could have a difficult night against last season’s shock Ligue 1 champions.
Lille has been brought down to earth this term, but the French club impressed defensively in the group stage. They conceded only 2 goals from open play in a section containing Sevilla, RB Salzburg and Wolfsburg and are unlikely to roll over. Take under 2.5 goals in this game.

College basketball: Tennessee Volunteers vs Missouri Tigers – Under 129 points (+100), 7:00 pm ET
The Missouri offense has been dreadful all season long, and over the last week it has looked even worse, averaging only 54 points in their last three games. Tonight will be even tougher, considering the Vols’ defense only allows 62.9 points per game. The under is 5-1 in the Tigers’ last six home games, and 4-1 in the Volunteers’ last five road games. The first team to 60 probably wins this game, so play the under.

NHL: Minnesota Wild 3-Way ML (-145) vs Ottawa Senators, 7:05 pm ET
Offensively, the edge goes to the Wild. The Senators rank in the bottom 10 in both goals for per game and expected goals for. The Wild, on the other hand, rank 3rd in goals for per game.
Both teams rank in the bottom 12 in goals allowed per game and that is because neither team has a top 25 goalie on their roster. However, the Wild are great at team defense when it comes to stopping pressure in their own end as they rank 4th in expected goals against, whereas the Senators rank 28th. Lean on the better overall team and place your wager on the Wild money line 3-way.

College basketball: Oklahoma Sooners vs Texas Tech Red Raiders -10.5 (-105), 8:00 pm ET
The Red Raiders have the second-most efficient defense in the country per KenPom, while holding opponents to 59.2 ppg on 39% shooting at home. Further, they have allowed just 5 opponents to score 70 points or more against them this season — one of whom being Oklahoma.
Offensively, Texas Tech is much better at home, averaging more than 80 ppg on 50.6% shooting in Lubbock. They have also covered the spread in all 7 of their Big 12 home games. Oklahoma on the other hand, ranks 9th in the Big 12 in defensive efficiency and 10th in opposing effective FG%, so stopping the Red Raider attack in a revenge spot could be a tall order for the Sooner defense. For that reason, backing the Red Raiders will be the play here.
