We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Wednesday, including action from college basketball, the NHL, EPL, and NBA.
One pick is taken from each sport and a winning ticket gives us a nice payout with odds at +1706 with DraftKings — that’s more than 17/1! Let’s break down each of these plays.
EPL: Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brighton & Hove Albion – Tie (+205), 2:30pm ET
After a fast start to the season Brighton & Hove Albion have hit a tough patch, quickly becoming the tie specialists of the English Premier League. The Seagulls have drawn 8 of their last 10 EPL games and it may also be hard to separate them from a Wolves team with which they have tied in 4 of their last 5 meetings.
Wolves have quietly improved this season, despite back-to-back 1-0 losses against high-quality opposition in Liverpool and Manchester City, and they head into this round of midweek games in 9th place. However, they have scored just once in their last 6 league games and could play out to another tie at the Amex Stadium.

NBA: Los Angeles Lakers ML (-110) vs Dallas Mavericks, 7:30pm ET
One stat that should worry Mavericks fans is their home form, especially when it comes to covering the spread. They’ve covered just 4 times in 13 games at American Airlines Center. With no Luka Doncic tonight due to an ankle injury, it’s hard to like Dallas’ chances against a confident Lakers team. Los Angeles is among the 5 best defensive teams over the past 2 weeks, they are winning consistently and with a healthy Anthony Davis they should get the job done on the road. Take the Lakers to win.

NHL: Washington Capitals ML (-160) vs Chicago Blackhawks, 8:08pm ET
These are two very different offensive attacks, and the Blackhawks could have a tough time keeping up. Washington is 5th in the league in goals per game with 3.39, while Chicago ranks 29th in that same category with 2.19.
Washington could have the advantage in net as well, as Ilya Samsonov is in a groove. Since reclaiming his team’s top spot between the pipes about a month ago, Samsonov is 8-2-0 with a strong .924 save percentage and 2.29 GAA. Chicago goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury is coming off a 30-save shutout over Montreal, but the Habs have one of the worst offenses in the league. Going up against Washington’s high-octane offense will be a much tougher challenge. Back the team with the higher offensive ceiling.

College Basketball: Northern Colorado Bears vs Arizona Wildcats -24 (-110), 9pm ET
The Arizona Wildcats have been the most surprising team to start the season, and may very well be the best team as of now. The Wildcats are an offensive machine; ranking 1st in scoring offense with 91 points per game, and 19th in field-goal percentage, shooting an astounding 49% from the field.
Northern Colorado is a very talented team, but in previous games against Texas and Colorado State, the Bears struggled to defend the painted area, so look for the height of the Wildcats to make things miserable for the Bears. Arizona is 8-1 against the spread this season, and their average margin of victory has been 29 points.
