We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Sunday, including picks from the MLB, MLS and NFL. One pick is taken from each sport with a second pick from the NFL. A winning ticket would give us a very nice payout with odds of +1114 at DraftKings Sportsbook.
Let's break down each of these plays.
NFL pick today: Los Angeles Chargers -6 over Houston Texans (-110), 1:00 pm ET
As competitive as the Texans have looked during their first three games, you have to take into account the level of play of their opponents. The Colts looked like a disaster in Week 1 and have been struggling with key injuries on defense. Both the Broncos and Bears are a hot mess on both sides of the ball and Houston failed to beat either team.
The Chargers’ defense on the other hand, is one of the best in the league despite the fact that they crumbled to Jacksonville. Offensively,' Justin Herbert is another week into the healing process and Austin Ekeler is looking to jump-start his season against a defense that ranks dead last against the run. For that reason, backing the Chargers to rebound against the Texans will be the play.
