We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Monday, including picks from the EPL, NBA, NHL and NFL. One pick is taken from each sport and a winning ticket would give us a very nice payout with odds of +949 at DraftKings Sportsbook.
EPL pick today: West Ham United ML over AFC Bournemouth (-185), 3:00 pm ET
Bournemouth has been living a charmed life, often looking second-best in matches, and the Cherries finally lost their first match under caretaker manager Gary O’Neil when losing 1-0 to Southampton last week. This afternoon’s trip to London could prove tough for the Cherries, as a strong West Ham team is starting to find form after a poor start to the season.
The Hammers had won 4 of 5 games before a narrow 1-0 loss to Liverpool and it could have been 5 for 5 if not for some poor refereeing decisions at Southampton last weekend. Given West Ham’s improved form, backing them to win will be the play.

NBA pick today: Miami Heat -3.5 over Toronto Raptors (-110), 7:40 pm ET
These teams just played on Saturday night with Miami winning by 3. More specifically, Miami held on because it was winning by more than 20 at one point in the second half. Toronto stormed back to cover the +3.5, which is the line we have for the rematch. With Toronto having depth issues overall, backing Miami will be the play tonight.

NHL pick today: St. Louis Blues vs Winnipeg Jets – Under 6.5 goals (-115), 8:00 pm ET
Both the Blues and Jets have under-the-radar goaltenders in the NHL. St. Louis’ Jordan Binnington worked in tandem with Vile Husso to help lead the team to the 2nd round of the playoffs last year. He also did his part in keeping 3 of the 4 meetings between these teams under the total last season.
Similarly, Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck has quietly been one of the best in the league for several years. While he may not have the name recognition of Tampa Bay Lightning’s Andrei Vasilevskiy, it was Hellebuyck that led the NHL in saves made last season. Because both goalies have been so good, backing the under will be the play.

NFL pick today: Chicago Bears +8 over New England Patriots (-110), 8:15 pm ET
In a game that is going to be very slow (NE 26th in pace and Chicago 15th) with 2 teams that run the ball at top 10 highest rates, that should cater more for the underdog to cover. There are fewer plays and time for the favorite to create such a big margin or extend that margin. The Patriots’ defense is 29th in run efficiency allowed and have been burned by explosive pass plays as well, allowing the 4th highest rate in the NFL.
The Bears have faced and covered against some really good teams this year, beating the Niners while covering a big number against the Vikings as well. For that reason, backing the Bears to cover tonight will be the play.
