We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Wednesday, including action from the NHL, Champions League, NBA, and college basketball.
One pick is taken from each sport and a winning ticket would give us a nice payout with odds of +1401 at FanDuel Sportsbook. Let’s break down each of these plays.
Champions League: Manchester City vs Sporting Lisbon – Over 1.5 1st-half goals (+106), 3:00 pm ET
Manchester City did all the hard work in the first leg of its Champions League last-16 game, winning 5-0 at Sporting Lisbon in one of the best team performances witnessed in Europe’s premier club competition this season.
Sporting are also pretty dismal travelers in continental competition and have lost 10 of their last 13 Champions League away games. City coach Pep Guardiola does not worry about running up the score and if his fringe players are given the chance to impress, they are likely to snatch it. A quick start can be expected, so plus money about there being at least 2 goals in the first half is attractive.

NHL: Edmonton Oilers vs Washington Capitals – Over 6.5 goals (+100), 8:05 pm ET
Washington’s Alex Ovechkin continues to dominate the league and is moving closer to passing Jaromir Jagr for 3rd all-time in goals. The Oilers are ranked 23rd in goals against per game and 26th on the penalty kill. They will have no way of slowing down the greatest Russian winger in NHL history.
On the flip side, Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are tied for the league lead in points. When they are on the ice, there is no way to shut them down. Washington is ranked 8th in goals against per game, but Ilya Samsonov has struggled a little of late and a matchup against the best players in the league isn’t ideal. This game will be filled with scoring chances on both sides and barring a miracle performance from either goalie, the over should be able to hit.

NBA: Atlanta Hawks vs Milwaukee Bucks – Over 240 points (-110), 7:40 pm ET
Atlanta should be playing catch-up for most of this game, but the Hawks should get to at least 110 points in the game and that should be enough to push the total over. The Bucks are also 8-2 to the over in their last 10 games and 18-13 (58%) to the over as a home favorite. There could be some tired legs for the Bucks because they are on a back-to-back, but given how their whole offense has been playing, it won’t be just Giannis doing all of the scoring.

College Basketball: Utah Utes vs Washington Huskies -2.5 (-110), 11:30 pm ET
Washington had a better than expected season after being picked to finish 11th in the preseason poll but they will need a Cinderella run if they are to continue playing. Terrell Brown Jr. has been sensational for the Huskies, leading the PAC-12 in scoring with 21.7 points per game, and in the most recent meeting against Utah he scored 30 points in a double-overtime win.
The Huskies are 17-13 ATS on the season, and they are 5-0 ATS as a favorite against PAC-12 opponents. Brown Jr. should have another monster game, and Washington is 4-1 ATS when favored by 1-2.5 points this season. Take the Huskies.
