US Open

Qinwen Zheng v Elena Rybakina Betting Markets

Wednesday September 9, 2026 (10:01 am EDT)

Qinwen Zheng pays out $245 for every $100 bet to win her US Open match vs. -310 favorite Elena Rybakina at 11 am EDT Wednesday.  Zheng won 7-5, 6-3 over Iga Swiatek in the fourth round of the US Open on Monday.  Zheng delivered a surprising comeback for the second match in a row as she rallied from 5-0 down in the opening set, claiming seven-straight games to secure the set and eventually the match over the No. 8 seed from Poland.

NFL

Patriots vs. Seahawks

Wednesday September 9, 2026 (10:01 am EDT)

Probably the most wagered on match of these last few months in North America as the new NFL season kicks off with a bang Wednesday night with a repeat of the Super Bowl between New England and Seattle.  The Seahawks are a -3.5 favorite in this one.  The Patriots have now replaced the Stefon Diggs/Kayshon Boutte combination with A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs.  The Seahawks take a little stop back as Kenneth Walker III, the Super Bowl MVP, left for Kansas City. Seattle used its first-round pick on Notre Dame RB Jadarian Price, who is very talented, but tonight will be his first NFL regular-season game. Replacing a proven Super Bowl MVP with a rookie is a downgrade until Price proves otherwise.
