We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Sunday, including action from the NFL, MLS, NBA, and NHL.
One pick is taken from each sport and a winning ticket gives us a nice payout with odds at +1086 with DraftKings; that’s more than 10/1! Let’s break down each of these plays.
MLS: Atlanta United FC ML (-130) vs FC Cincinnati, 3:30pm ET
The last game on Atlanta’s schedule is, on paper, straightforward. While it’s never easy to go on the road under any circumstances, FC Cincinnati has lost 11 consecutive games, beginning with a 4-0 beatdown in Atlanta the last time the teams met. Cincinnati will finish last in the league for the 3rd consecutive season since joining, and this team that has allowed twice as many goals as it has scored should be no match for the hungry Atlanta squad it meets today. Take Atlanta on the money line with confidence.

NFL: Los Angeles Chargers -1 (-110) vs Philadelphia Eagles, 4:05pm ET
Philadelphia has pushed a few big teams close this season, including the Bucs and Chiefs, but ultimately they are still 3-5 and are in danger of being exposed as too much of a run-heavy team. Jalen Hurts completed just 9 passes last week against the Lions, which was fair and clearly worked, but in the 2 games prior he completed around 50% of his passes. That sort of game won’t cut it against the Chargers, and although Los Angeles has struggled against the run this season, expect head coach Brandon Staley to have his team well prepared for the Eagles’ rushers. Take the Chargers.

NHL: New York Islanders vs Minnesota Wild ML (-125), 8:08pm ET
Both the Islanders and Wild are on the second half of back-to-backs as they meet up at Xcel Energy Center. New York defeated Winnipeg 2-0 last night, while Minnesota won in a shootout against Pittsburgh by a score of 5-4. Both teams played road games last night before traveling to Minnesota for this matchup. Tired legs could be an issue on both sides. It may be an even bigger issue for New York, as this is their third game in 4 days. The Islanders are also in the middle of an extended 13-game road trip to open up the season. The Wild are 3-1-0 at home this year, and they have the edge in this one. Take Minnesota.

NBA: Houston Rockets vs Golden State Warriors – Under 218.5 points (-105), 8:40pm ET
Entering play tonight, the Rockets and the Warriors each rank in the top 5 for pace this season in the NBA. Yet, high volume does not necessarily translate to a lot of points for a Houston team that ranks 28th in the league in offensive efficiency, scoring only 99.7 points per 100 possessions.
The Rockets could have even more trouble scoring tonight against a Golden State defense that is allowing the fewest points per 100 possessions in the NBA through 8 games. Expect a quick pace, but also for this total to come in under the current consensus market price. Take the under.
