We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Thursday night, including action from the NFL, Europa League, NBA, and NHL.
One pick is taken from each sport and a winning ticket gives us a nice payout with odds at +1035 with DraftKings; that’s more than 10/1! Let’s break down each of these plays.
Europa League: Brondby vs Rangers ML (-115), 1:45pm ET
Rangers kept their Europa League qualification hopes alive with a 2-0 victory over Brondby at Ibrox and they should have little to fear when renewing their rivalry in Denmark.
Steven Gerrard’s side were well worth their victory in Glasgow two weeks ago, when they won the shot count 18-6. Brondby failed to register an effort on target, so that form should be upheld.

NHL: Washington Capitals vs Florida Panthers ML (-150), 7:08pm ET
With both teams being so close in offense and defense, this game will come down to goaltending. Those top 3 rankings for goals against and goals against per game for the Panthers come from their expected starting goalie on Thursday, Sergei Bobrovsky, who ranks 2nd in goals saved above expected and 5th in save percentage. Either goalie that the Capitals play doesn’t provide any edge as they both rank around average in both goals saved above expected and save percentage.
The other disadvantage for the Capitals lies in their offense. Since the Capitals placed one of their top forwards, TJ Oshie, on injured reserve, they haven’t scored more than 2 goals, with one of the games coming against the last place Arizona Coyotes at home. Expect Bobrovsky and the Panthers offense to be too much and place your bet on the Panthers money line.

NBA: Utah Jazz vs Atlanta Hawks +1.5 (-110), 7:40pm ET
This line is Utah -1 and it is all about health. The Jazz have a number of injured players with big man Rudy Gobert out and wings Donovan Mitchell and Royce O’Neale questionable. Those are three starters. Thanks to the addition of Hassan Whiteside they can manage a short-term loss inside but they are going to be very small when he is not on the floor. The absences tilt things in Atlanta’s favor. They did not play a good game last night against Brooklyn but this is a time for their depth to shine. I like the coach to do a great job framing the opportunity and motivating the team to respond at home.

NFL: New York Jets vs Indianapolis Colts – Over 45.5 points (-110), 8:20pm ET
The Colts have had difficulty defending against opposing passing offenses, and after the Jets’ superb effort on Sunday, expect them to have at least some success in putting points on the board.
The Colts have scored 30 points or more in each of their last 3 games, and Carson Wentz seems to have finally built some chemistry with his offense. The real X-factor is running back Jonathan Taylor, who has 6 touchdowns in his last 5 games and has registered 100+ rushing yards on 3 of those occasions.
The Jets have been decent against the run, but they have allowed 12 rushing scores, which is the 2nd-most in the NFL, and Taylor has a great opportunity to add to his tally. The over is 4-0 in the Jets’ last 4 games and 4-1 in the Colts’ last 5. Expect points in this one.
