I'm hoping I can at least get some solid growth in a majority of the yard and work on the spots in the seasons to come. I'm just sick of looking at dirt in the back yard, it's been like a month since we got it regraded and I've just been too damn busy to take care of it until Saturday.

Good luck. Hopefully you get some milder temps than we've had. Seeds germinate best in 55-75 range, which is why people usually reseed in the spring or fall.
To the bolded: That's a LOT of water. Especially for seed. I think you're going to drown/rot the majority, especially if it's shaded as you say. You really just want to keep the top of the soil damp until the majority of your seed sprouts.

Do you water in the morning or at night? Fungus usually comes from watering at night or watering too frequently.
