Will Josh Allen and the Bills offense struggle today when the team hosts the Jets? Will Western Kentucky post a cover against Michigan? Can the Wild continue its success versus the Senators? Read on for our Sunday Cross-Sport Parlay.
NFL Sunday Cross-Sport Parlay: Buffalo Bills under 27.5 Points (-108), 1:00 p.m. ET
In the last 10 meetings between these AFC East rivals, the Bills scored 28+ points only twice: November 14, 2021 (a 45-17 victory) and November 19, 2023 (a 32-6 victory). Otherwise, the Bills were held to 27 or fewer points by the Jets in eight of the previous 10 meetings between the two teams.
Weather could also be a factor in today’s matchup. Projections say there is a 100% chance of rain in Orchard Park, with 16-21 mph wind. Gusts reportedly could get up to 40 mph this afternoon, which would dramatically impact the teams’ passing games. I know Josh Allen has a strong arm, but that’s some strong ass wind.
Buffalo’s offense is also due for some regression. After scoring at least 30 points in eight consecutive games, the Bills were held to 24 points at home last Sunday by the Patriots. The Jets have a stronger defense than New England.
CBB Sunday Cross-Sport Parlay: Western Kentucky +19.5 (-110), 8:00 p.m. ET
I look forward to college basketball teams getting into full swing with their conference schedules. For now, however, we’ll just have to deal with these weird non-con games.
The Hilltoppers have been an underrated ATS giant to start the season. They’re 9-3 straight up and 6-2-2 against the spread. One of their ATS victories came at Kentucky. While WKU lost 87-68 that day, the Hilltoppers covered as a 24-point underdog. They’re now 5-0-2 at the betting window in their last seven lined games.
As for Michigan, the Wolverines put together a modest 3-game ATS winning streak with wins and covers against Virginia Tech (-9.5), Xavier (-1.5) and Wisconsin (+3). However, they’ve dropped three out of their last four games at the betting window.
NBA Sunday Cross-Sport Parlay: Miami Heat +8.5 (-110), 7:10 p.m. ET
Jimmy Butler missed a fourth consecutive game with what the Heat have categorized as “return to competition reconditioning.” I don’t know what that is, but the bottom line is that he hasn’t played since December 20 when he appeared to injure his ankle in the first quarter of a loss to the Thunder.
Regardless of the potential strife between the team and Butler, the Heat are 7-3 against the spread in their last 10 meetings with the Rockets. They’re also 9-1 straight up in their last 10 games with Houston and despite Butler’s absence, they’ve still managed to cover in two out of their last three games overall.
NHL Sunday Cross-Sport Parlay: Minnesota Wild (-142), 8:09 p.m. ET
After dropping four straight games, the Wild have rebounded with back-to-back wins over the Blackhawks and Stars, respectively. They’re 8-2 against tonight’s opponent, the Senators, in the last 10 meetings between these two teams. In the last five meetings between these two teams in Minnesota, the Wild are a perfect 5-0.
The Senators, meanwhile, are headed in the opposite direction. After winning six straight, Ottawa dropped back-to-back games at Edmonton and at Winnipeg, respectively. In those two teams, the Senators combined for just three goals while allowing seven.
