2025 Championship Parlay Picks: National Championship Combo Bets
With Ohio State or Notre Dame set to be the first championship-winning team of the year when the teams play on Monday at 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN) from Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta for the CFP National Championship, our pick of the Buckeyes leads off our 2025 championship parlay picks.

- We're also parlaying all of our championship picks in a six-leg parlay with +638667 odds via DraftKings
- Though we're backing the college football national championship odds favorite with the Buckeyes, we're not only taking the team atop every league's championship oddsboard
CFP National Championship + Super Bowl parlay
College football picks based on the odds from our best college football betting sites.
- Ohio State to win CFP National Championship (-360) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Baltimore Ravens to win Super Bowl (+475) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Combined odds: +634 via DraftKings | Implied probability: 13.62%
Ohio State to win CFP National Championship (-360) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
As I explained in my Ohio State vs. Notre Dame comparison, all signs point to the Buckeyes taking home the national title. Ohio State simply has more talent than Notre Dame, and while both teams have ferocious defenses, Ryan Day's team has a far better offense.
With Ohio State ranked top three in both EPA per rush and dropback, and Notre Dame just 20th in EPA per dropback, that's going to be the biggest difference in this matchup - which is why Will Howard and Jeremiah Smith have the shortest CFP National Championship MVP odds. I think Notre Dame can cover, but I have Ohio State winning 24-20.
Baltimore Ravens to win Super Bowl 59 (+475) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
I don't care that Josh Allen closed as the overwhelming favorite by the NFL MVP odds, the award should go to Lamar Jackson for the third time. But he can make the voters look silly by leading the Ravens to a Super Bowl instead.
Getting through the Buffalo Bills - and potentially the Kansas City Chiefs and Detroit Lions - is almost as big of a request as asking Ryan Day to beat Michigan. However, Baltimore leads the NFL in EPA per play on offense and its defense ranks higher than both the Bills and Chiefs. That's why it's a wicked value that the Ravens have the fourth-best Super Bowl odds.
CFP National Championship + NBA championship parlay
- Ohio State to win CFP National Championship (-357) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Oklahoma City Thunder to win NBA championship (+260) ⭐⭐⭐
Combined odds: +360 via BetMGM | Implied probability: 21.74%
Oklahoma City Thunder to win NBA championship (+260) ⭐⭐⭐
I don't love how short the Thunder's NBA championship odds are with so much season left, but I don't feel confident buying in on the Cleveland Cavaliers yet, and I just think the East in general is going to be such a gauntlet for the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks.
We also haven't seen the Thunder at full strength in two months, so a team that's 22-2 since Nov. 20 is set to get even better when Chet Holmgren returns to the court. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is minus-money by the NBA MVP odds for a reason, and I think OKC is finally ready to reach the pinnacle in Mark Daigneault's fifth season as bench boss.
CFP National Championship + March Madness parlay
- Ohio State to win CFP National Championship (-360) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Auburn to win March Madness (+600) ⭐⭐
Combined odds: +794 via DraftKings | Implied probability: 11.19%
Auburn to win March Madness (+600) ⭐⭐
This is easily the championship pick I feel the least sure about, and it's not because I don't strongly believe in Auburn - it's because of March Madness' unpredictability when UConn isn't in juggernaut mode. With that said, I like the Tigers a lot more than I like Duke, who they're tied with for the shortest March Madness odds.
While the Johni Broome injury is certainly a short-term hiccup, I actually think it could benefit Bruce Pearl's team to play without the Wooden Awards odds contender for a few games. We already saw Auburn spank a ranked Mississippi State team without Broome, highlighting just how deep the Tigers are this season.
CFP National Championship + World Series parlay
- Ohio State to win CFP National Championship (-360) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Los Angeles Dodgers to win World Series (+360) ⭐⭐⭐
Combined odds: +487 via DraftKings | Implied probability: 17.04%
Los Angeles Dodgers to win World Series (+360) ⭐⭐⭐
The last team to repeat as World Series champs was the Evil Empire when the New York Yankees won three straight between 1998 and 2000. So maybe it's bold to back the Dodgers, especially when they have the shortest World Series odds by a mile.
But I don't know how you look at Los Angeles' roster and don't feel like the reigning champions can go back to back. Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts are both among the MLB MVP odds favorites in the NL, and Freddie Freeman just had an all-time postseason performance. Even if recent history says it's unlikely, I'm drinking the Dodgers Kool-Aid.
CFP National Championship + Stanley Cup
- Ohio State to win CFP National Championship (-385) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Edmonton Oilers to win Stanley Cup (+700) ⭐⭐⭐
Combined odds: +908 via Caesars | Implied probability: 9.92%
New users only. Must use promo code. Min. $10 deposit. Max. additional winnings $2.5K per token. Tokens expire in 14 days. Void where prohibited. Full terms.
Edmonton Oilers to win Stanley Cup (+700) ⭐⭐⭐
Oilers fans had their hearts ripped out last season in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup, but I believe this is going to be a story of redemption, as do the Stanley Cup odds. Much like when Sidney Crosby led the Pittsburgh Penguins to a title over the Detroit Red Wings one year after falling to them in the Cup, I think Connor McDavid is poised to do the same.
McDavid continues to do ridiculous things on the ice, and the Oilers are really starting to heat up as they try to climb to the top of the Western Conference. With McDavid and Hart Trophy odds leader Leon Draisaitl, Kris Knoblauch can take Edmonton back to the Stanley Cup and bring home some hardware to the Festival City.
2025 championship parlay
- Ohio State to win CFP National Championship (-360) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Baltimore Ravens to win Super Bowl (+475) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Oklahoma City Thunder to win NBA championship (+260) ⭐⭐⭐
- Auburn to win March Madness (+600) ⭐⭐
- Los Angeles Dodgers to win World Series (+360) ⭐⭐⭐
- Edmonton Oilers to win Stanley Cup (+650) ⭐⭐⭐
Combined odds: +638667 via DraftKings | Implied probability: 0.02%
Six-leg championship parlay (+638667)
For reference, the 0.02% implied probability means you'd need approximately 3,466 attempts to have a 50% chance of hitting the parlay at least once, according to ChatGPT.
If this whole thing hits, a $10 bet pays a $63,876.70 profit, which I would then proceed to spend on tickets for every weekday MACtion game in November until the day I die. Seems like a good investment to me.
