DraftKings Sportsbook Canada top upcoming sporting events Sept. 6-Oct. 8

Here are the best betting events on the DraftKings Sportsbook app in Canada for today through October 8. 

• NFL Football: Week 1 of the NFL regular season is upon us and DraftKings Sportsbook has point spreads, moneyline bets, and total bets on every game. On September 7, the Detroit Lions are +5.5-point underdogs against the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. The over/under on DraftKings Sportsbook is 53.5. On September 10, the New England Patriots are 4-point underdogs when hosting the NFC Champion Philadelphia Eagles, while the Minnesota Vikings are 6-point home favorites when they host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Later in the day, the Seattle Seahawks will be 5.5-point home favorites when they host the Los Angeles Rams. To wrap up NFL Week 1, the Buffalo Bills will be 2.5-point favorites when they visit the New York Jets. DraftKings has the Bills installed as 8-point home favorites against the Las Vegas Raiders in their September 17 home opener, then have them as a 4.5-point favorite on the road on September 24 against the Washington Commanders. The Bills are 3.5-point favorites when they host the Miami Dolphins on October 1, then will be 3.5-point favorites when they visit London, England to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars on October 8. As one can see, DraftKings Sportsbook already has odds posted for most games on the NFL schedule for the coming month. 
• MLB Baseball: The Major League Baseball season is in its final month and the Toronto Blue Jays remain alive for an American League Wild Card spot. In fact, the Blue Jays are in good position to win the final Wild Card spot if they take care of business. First, Toronto plays two cellar dwellers in the Oakland A’s and Kansas City Royals in the week of September 4 to September 10. For their September 5 game with the Athletics, the Blue Jays are a 1.5-run spread favorite or a -185 moneyline favorite. The game has an over/under of 8 runs. After playing the two teams with the worst record in the American League, the Blue Jays host the Texas Rangers for a four-game series in the week of September 11 to September 17. The Texas Rangers are the team the Blue Jays must catch, and the Rangers have tumbled down the standings due mainly to trouble with their bullpen. Both the Seattle Mariners and Houston Astros have leapfrogged Texas in the past month, so it would be no surprise if Toronto did the same. After the Rangers series, the Blue Jays finish the regular season with 5 series against AL East rivals: one against the Red Sox, two against the Yankees, and two against the Rays. If their final four weeks go well, the Blue Jays could be playing a Wild Card game sometime between October 3 and October 5. Whatever happens, DraftKings Sportsbook will have odds on every single Toronto Blue Jays game until the end of their season. 
• FIBA Basketball World Cup: The 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup continues through September 10 in Japan, the Philippines, and Indonesia. Canada’s squad, led by the Denver Nuggets’ Jamal Murray and the Oklahoma City Thunders’ Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, has a strong chance of winning the FIBA World Cup. Canada is an 8.5-point favorite in its quarterfinal game against Slovenia on September 6, while Germany is a 9.5 favorite to advance against Latvia on the same day. Many expected the USA National Team to win the tournament, but they were defeated by Lithuania on September 3. Serbia subsequently eliminated Lithuania 87-68 on September 5, while the USA bounced back with a 100-63 win in its next game against Italy on the same day. The USA remains the favorite to win the FIBA World Cup with -180 odds, while Canada is a strong contender at +400 odds. Serbia is next with +600 odds, while Germany is next with +800 odds. The remaining teams in the tournament have longshot odds, as Slovenia sits at +2200 and Latvia sits at +6500. 
• ATP U.S. Open: The 2023 U.S. Open is in its second week of play and ends with the Men’s Final on September 10. No more Canadians are in the men’s singles or doubles tournaments. Instead, pre-tournament favorites Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz seem destined for a showdown in the final. Djokovic has -145 odds to win outright, while Alcaraz has +160 odds. Daniil Medvedev, who won the tournament in 2021, is the only other remaining player with odds at +1000 or lower. Three Americans remain, but each is considered a long shot to end the 20-year drought of US men’s tennis without a major winner. Frances Tiafoe has +2800 odds, while Taylor Fritz has +6500 odds, and Ben Shelton has +8000 odds. Speaking of Taylor Fritz, he dropped the first set on September 5 to Novak Djokovic and is now +1600 to win the match. Djokovic, who won the first set 6-1, has -10000 to win the match. Also on September 5, Frances Tiafoe is a -250 favorite to advance against Ben Shelton (+205). On September 6, Daniil Medvedev is a -235 favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook to defeat fellow Russian Andrey Rublev (+195). On the same day, Carlos Alcaraz has -425 odds to defeat Alexander Zverev (+330). 
• WTA U.S. Open: In the women’s bracket, it’s a wide-open event after 20th-ranked Jelena Ostapenko defeated defending champion Iga Swiatek. Coco Gauff easily defeated Ostapenko in a quarterfinal match with a 6-0, 6-2 score and is the first women’s player into the semifinals. In the other September 5 match, Sorana Cirstea is a +165 underdog to defeat Karolina Muchova (-205). On September 6, Aryna Sabalenka is a -360 favorite against Qinwen Zheng (+275), while Madison Keys has -130 odds to defeat Marketa Vondrousova (+105). Those who want to bet on Canadian tennis should consider the U.S. Open Women’s Doubles quarterfinal match between the pair of Canada’s Leylah Fernandez and the USA’s Taylor Townsend and the pair of Canada’s Gabriela Dabrowski and New Zealand’s Erin Routliffe. DraftKings Sportsbook has the Fernandez/Townsend pairing as big favorites in the September 5 match, as they have -475 odds when they take on the Dabroswki/Routliffe duo. Whoever wins, a Canadian doubles player will be in a U.S. Open Women’s Doubles semifinal match. 
• NCAA Football: As the NCAA football season enters its second full week of play, DraftKings Sportsbook has odds on most games. Though the first month of the season has a lot of mismatches due to non-conference scheduling, college football has several matchups between perennial powerhouses in the next month. One good example is on the September 9 schedule, when the #11 Texas Longhorns visit Tuscaloosa to take on the #4 Crimson Tide of Alabama. DraftKings has Alabama as a 7.5-point favorite in the game. Another big game on September 9 is #11 Colorado hosting unranked Nebraska with the Buffaloes as a 3-point home favorite. Just a week ago, Colorado would have been the underdog, but the Buffaloes’ defeat of the #17 TCU Horned Frogs opened many eyes about Deion Sanders’ tenure at Colorado. Later in the month, the schedule includes showdowns between Tennessee and Florida, Ohio State and Notre Dame, and Colorado and USC. If Canadians want to place a bet on the winner of the 2024 National Championship, visit DraftKings Sportsbook’s College Football Futures page listed as “NCAAF CFP 2023-24” to see the odds. Georgia is +240 to three-peat, while Alabama has +550 odds to win the title. Michigan is next at +700, while Ohio State has +900 odds. Florida State has +1100 odds after upsetting #5 LSU, while USC has +1500 odds. Penn State (+2200), Texas (+2500), and Notre Dame (+2800) also have realistic odds to win the college football National Championship Game. 
• Ryder Cup: From September 29 to October 1, the 2023 Ryder Cup will command the golf world’s attention on Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Rome, Italy. The USA is a -120 favorite to win the 2023 Ryder Cup outright, while Europe has +125 odds to reverse its defeat from 2021. If someone bets on a tie, they receive a payout on +1200 odds. DraftKings Sportsbook also has odds on the proposition “To Lift the Trophy”. Because the defending champion retains the Ryder Cup in case of a tie, this bet is based on which team lifts the trophy at the end of the event. In this case, the USA has -165 odds, while Europe has +135 odds to lift the trophy. Those backing the European side should note they’ll get better odds if they bet on the Europeans “To Lift the Trophy” than they would if they made the “Winner” bet — though its chances of happening are the same from the perspective of a bettor on Europe.

DraftKings Sportsbook markets: spreads, parlays, props & futures

DraftKings covers all the usual bets you would expect from an online sportsbook of its stature. This includes totals, moneylines, point spreads, parlays and teaser bets. You’ll find all these bets available for a wide selection of sports, too.

If you were to head over to the baseball betting page, for example, you’d find plenty of bets on the Toronto Blue Jays odds. You could bet on the winner of their next game, wager on how many runs the two teams will combine to score, or even just bet on which team will be leading after five innings. Props are also available — so you could bet on Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to get a hit, score a run or hit a homer, for example.

You’ll find similar options for betting on basketball games. If you’re looking for odds on the Toronto Raptors, there will be plenty to browse. Wager on the first half of the game, pick the player to score the most points, or you might want to place a futures bet. In this case, you could bet on the Raptors to win the NBA title, or on a specific player to win the league MVP at the end of the year. Another popular NBA bet is wagering on which player will score a game’s first basket.

DraftKings offers one of the broadest betting selections you’re likely to find. The FanDuel betting app is likely to be right there, too, but DraftKings really is a leader in sports betting.

What are the most popular bets at DraftKings Sportsbook in Canada?

It’s not unusual that totals, moneylines and point spread bets are among the most popular at DraftKings, as these are the three main options you’ll find at most sportsbooks. Prop betting is also becoming ever-more popular as users gravitate toward novel bets, like the first player to score and how many strikeouts a pitcher will end up with.

You can find these by selecting your sport then clicking on the props tab.

DraftKings Sportsbook covers player and team stats heavily, meaning these get a lot of attention from bettors. Head over to the NBA betting odds page to find lines on the highest-scoring team, the team with the most rebounds per game, the scoring leader, the assists leader and more.

Live betting is also very popular at DraftKings in Ontario. You’ll see live games appear on the sportsbook’s homepage as you log in, and it’s a similar story on the app. Clicking on any individual game will show you your options. For example, you’re likely to find game lines, live props and period bets all available on a live hockey game.
