It’s the time of year you’ve all been waiting for, so you don’t need this calendar to tell you football is back. There are so many intriguing debuts and matchups to look forward to in this first month of the season, but I simplified the calendar to give a quick glimpse of the prime-time matchups.
In addition to the NFL, we’ve got Week 1 of college football action with a few Top 25 matchups on the slate, although rankings are sure to change by the time some of these matchups roll around.
Finally, the WNBA will crown a champion, as will the US Open. And the MLB enters its final stretch of the season before the playoffs begin. Here’s your betting calendar for September.
