ACC Championship Predictions & Odds 2025: Miami Builds Lead, Clemson Plummets

• Miami is now the second-ranked team in the country after a 4-0 start

• Clemson opened as a heavy favorite, yet they’re just 1-3 and 0-2 in ACC play

• Louisville is lurking, but it has the toughest schedule of the top candidates

The ACC might not have had as many playoff-caliber teams as the SEC or Big Ten in recent years, but 2025 could mark a resurgence of one of college football’s legendary conferences.

Miami has opened up a sizable lead to take the conference, although Georgia Tech and Florida State aren’t far behind. The Seminoles will also host Miami at the start of October in a matchup that could determine the regular-season conference champion.

Wondering who the best picks to bet on to win the ACC are, and which teams are in the mix for a CFP berth? Here are my thoughts on the best ACC picks.

ACC Championship Predictions

While many teams enjoyed non-conference opponents last week, pre-season favorite Clemson suffered a second straight ACC loss, this time to Syracuse, 34-21. The Tigers are already effectively out of the running to win the title, while Miami has taken a sizable lead. This coming week includes several important matchups, including Duke and Syracuse, and Louisville and Pittsburgh.

• Miami Hurricanes: Miami looks like the best team in the conference, whether it be their standout wins over Notre Dame and Florida, their experienced quarterback, Carson Beck, or their physicality in the trenches. They beat their four opponents by a combined score of 147-46 and will likely become a minus-money favorite if they take down Florida State. This team looks like it has the athleticism to compete with juggernauts from the SEC and Big Ten.

• Georgia Tech: Brent Key has gotten his team to completely buy into his hard-nosed philosophy that revolves around imposing physical will on to their opponents. They went blow-for-blow with Georgia last year and just took down Clemson, helping to establish themselves as one of the top teams in the conference. Haynes King is incredibly crafty and difficult to plan for since he operates in a style and at a level of efficiency unlike nearly any other QB in the nation.

• Florida State: In the interest of transparency, it can be argued that Florida State isn’t in the same tier as Georgia Tech despite being even in odds. Thomas Castellanos flamed out as the season went on at Boston College last year, but he’s off to a phenomenal start, and the running game has been sensational. Their defense showed up against Alabama but will be in for touch tests with Miami and Clemson still on the schedule.

ACC Championship Winner - My Pick

Miami Hurricanes (+125) at FanDuel Sportsbook

Carson Beck is one of the most experienced QBs in the country and is comfortable in high-leverage games thanks to his time at Georgia. Clemson’s fall-off has really opened the door to a run in the CFP for the Hurricanes, who look like they have more Jimmy's and Joe’s than the rest of the teams in the conference. The Florida State matchup will tell an awful lot, but Miami looks like the dominant power in the conference.

How to Bet on the ACC Championship Odds

There are two ways to bet on the ACC Championship: the futures betting market and on games featuring ACC squads. 

The futures betting market is the most direct way, as you're simply picking who you think will win the championship.

The individual games are more indirect, but you can complement your futures market selection with this to add more cash ot your wallet. 

The ACC Championship futures odds will change throughout the season as teams play, so preseason betting is the best way to get the top odds. 

How to Read ACC Championship Odds

The best way to read ACC Championship odds is to first understand what the different notations mean. 

If you see “+” odds, this typically means an underdog. If a team is “-,” they’re considered the favorite. However, with futures betting markets, you can sometimes find an overlap with multiple teams having “+” and/or “-” odds. 

If this is the case, the team with the lowest number and “+” odds is the favorite of that group. Conversely, the team with the largest number and “-” odds is the favorite. For example, +500 is more “favored” than +600, and -1500 is more favored than -500.

Here’s how to read the odds through the lens of winning or placing a $100 bet. 

• With “-” odds, you must wager the amount associated with the odds to win $100. For example, if a team is -250 to win the ACC Championship, you must wager $250 to win $100. 

• With “+” odds, you’ll win the amount associated with the odds when you place a successful $100 bet. For example, if a team is +350 and you bet $100 and win, you’ll get $350.
