We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Tuesday, 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 +986 with DraftKings; that’s more than 9/1! Let’s break down each of these plays.
NHL: Montreal Canadiens vs New York Rangers ML (-190), 7:08pm ET
New York’s offense is firing on all cylinders, producing 12 goals during their 3-game winning streak. Montreal goaltender Jake Allen is injured and his status for this game remains doubtful. Backup Sam Montembeault is having a rough go of things, posting a 3.77 GAA and .890 save percentage. He has allowed 7 goals over his last 2 games, so New York’s offense should be able to do some damage.
The Rangers have won 7 of Igor Shesterkin’s 11 starts; he has been a reliable force between the pipes. Overall, the Rangers have the better offense and the better goalie in net, and they are playing with momentum on their home ice. Take New York.

College Football: Western Michigan Broncos vs Eastern Michigan Eagles +5.5 (-105), 7:30pm ET
Eastern Michigan’s offense revolves around quarterback Ben Bryant. The Eagles boast the second-ranked passing offense in the MAC, averaging 476.7 yards per game. They also have the top-ranked scoring offense in the conference and will present a big challenge to the Broncos’ defense.
On paper this appears to be an even matchup, so you can expect Eastern Michigan to cover in this game. The Eagles have the explosive offense and therefore might end up winning outright. Western Michigan has been inconsistent this year and Eastern Michigan will be eager to bounce back at home after losing last week to Ohio.

College Basketball: BYU Cougars vs Oregon Ducks -4 (-110), 10pm ET
Oregon opens the season at an undefeated 2-0 after beating Texas Southern and SMU with ease. The Ducks dominated SMU from start to finish jumping out to a 50-35 lead at halftime on Friday night. Oregon shot an impressive 51.6 percent from the field with Eric Williams Jr., Will Richardson, and Jacob Young leading the way in scoring. Although they lost some key pieces from last season, head coach Dana Altman seems to always find a way to keep the Ducks at the top of the PAC-12 Conference.
BYU has proved that they are an extremely good team after beating San Diego State, but Oregon is a different level than them. I am rolling with the Ducks.

NBA: San Antonio Spurs vs Los Angeles Clippers -7.5 (-110), 10:30pm ET
The visiting Spurs are currently on a 2-game losing streak after dropping consecutive contests to the Mavericks and Lakers. With injuries to three members of their frontcourt rotation, the Spurs have recently struggled a bit defensively; they currently allow the 9th-most points per game (109.5 ppg) while allowing their opponents to shoot at the 4th highest rate from the field (46.5%).
Following the loss to the Bulls on Sunday night, which snapped a 7-game Clippers win streak, the Clippers will look to bounce right back on a Spurs team that allowed their last two opponents to score 234 points collectively. Look for the Clippers to win in convincing fashion.
