We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Saturday, including picks from the NBA, NHL, college football and college basketball. One pick is taken from each sport and a winning ticket would give us a very nice payout with odds of +1262 at DraftKings Sportsbook.
College Basketball pick today: Georgia State Panthers +2.5 over Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (-115), 7:00 pm ET
The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and the Georgia State Panthers face off on Saturday at the Georgia State Convocation Center for the first time since 2007. Two of their last five meetings went into overtime, including a four-overtime game which resulted in a Georgia State win. This tells us that State is willing to fight till the final buzzer, and with Jonas Hayes insinuating that the Panthers will be the “toughest” and “nastiest” team in the Sun Belt, Tech will be in for a dog fight. For that reason, backing the Panthers to cover the spread at home will be the play.

College Football pick today: TCU Horned Frogs +7 over Texas Longhorns (-110), 7:30 pm ET
For all that Texas has done to get back on the national stage, Steve Sarkisian is not a good ATS coach. The Longhorns failed to cover as 6.5-point favorites at Oklahoma State, 7-point favorites at Texas Tech and 15.5-point favorites hosting Iowa State. Their two covers over a field goal in conference play came against the bottom feeders of the conference at Oklahoma and versus West Virginia. This is too many points as Texas has given up late leads in the second half in 2 of the last 3 weeks, therefore backing the Horned Frogs will be the play.

NBA pick today: Atlanta Hawks vs Philadelphia 76ers – under 223 (-110), 7:40 pm ET
Neither team has excelled scoring the ball over the last few meetings. At least one of them failed to crack the 100 point mark in the last 4 head-to-head, while in 2 of those both of them finished under 100 points. No Harden has slowed down the Sixers tempo rapidly over the last few games, right now they are only 29th in pace of play averaging 98.4 possessions per game. Atlanta ranks 6th averaging 104.4, but you’d have to think the 76ers will be the ones dictating the pace of play here since it’s a home game. With 6 of 7 Philly home games going under and 5 straight between these two played at the Wells Fargo Center, I’m backing those trends to continue here. Take the under.

NHL pick today: Detroit Red Wings vs Los Angeles Kings – Over 6 goals (+100), 10:35 pm ET
When these teams played each other in October, there were a total of 9 goals scored (8 goals in regulation). While we may not get a total near 10, that game, among others, shows us these teams know how to score, but there are holes defensively. This is especially true in Detroit, who have already given up 8 goals in a game twice, and we are just over a month into the season. The Kings also find themselves on the wrong side in terms of goals against average, so in a combined effort, these teams will completely run up the scoreboard.
