Mow it as short as your mower will go. Then rent a verticutter and verticut it. Then overseed as recommended for "bare yard" and put down starter fertilizer at the same time. Water. It will begin to come up in about a week. You better get on it, as it is almost too late. A month from now, put down a winterizer like Snowman fertilizer. Then in the spring, put down a pre emergent crabgrass control in april, then hit it with a weed and feed type product in may and again in july or so. You should have a health stand of grass by next fall. this is how a lawn company would do it for you.
