ACC Championship Predictions & Odds 2023

The 2023-24 college football season is here, and we’re already through Week 1 of the action. The ACC has many teams that have had success throughout their program's history, but in the modern day, few stand out nationwide. Teams like Florida State and Duke look to take a step forward this year with Jordan Travis and Riley Leonard under center, respectively. 

Below, we’ll list all the current odds for the ACC Championship winner and provide the three best bets to make as we approach the next week of the season.

Best Bets

Following Week 3 action, the field for the ACC is becoming extremely one-sided. Week 4 is likely the last chance to get decent value for the top team.

Below, we’ll provide our three best bets for this conference futures wager. 

Florida State (+100)

The Seminoles are back to “+” line value after barely escaping Boston College in Chestnut Hill, winning 31-29. During the game, Travis injured what appeared to be his non-throwing shoulder but did return to the game. He threw for 212 yards on 16 completions and two touchdowns. The Seminoles defense was torched by Boston College quarterback Thomas Castellanos. He passed for 305 yards, one touchdown, and ran for 95 yards and a touchdown. 

They head out on the road against the Clemson Tigers, who may be rebounding, but they’ve played some poor teams recently. 

Pound for pound, the Seminoles offense is better than the Tigers, but weird things can happen on the road. We’d bet on them because of their offensive prowess with Travis and wide receivers Keon Coleman and Johnny Wilson. 

Clemson (+400)

Since dropping the opener to the Duke Blue Devils 28-7, the Tigers have rebounded, scoring 66 points in Week 2 and 48 in Week 3. To be fair, these games were against Charleston Southern and Florida Atlantic. 

This week, the Tigers have a chance to not only climb the ACC ranks but the overall rankings. Quarterback Cade Klubnik has played OK, but the teams lately have been subpar. He’s completing 65.7% of his passes for 693 yards, eight touchdowns and two interceptions. 

We’ll have a much better grasp of this conference after Clemson hosts Florida State in Week 4. 

North Carolina (+900)

Whenever you have one of the top quarterbacks in an upcoming draft class, you’ll always have a chance to win, and that’s the case with the Tar Heels and Drake Maye. This season, he’s completing 72.5% of his passes for 891 yards, four touchdowns, and four interceptions. They’ve been tested this season on the road against South Carolina, an overtime win against Appalachian State, and a 31-13 home win against Minnesota. 

They’ll have two matchups in Week 4 and 5 against Pittsburgh and Syracuse, then host the Miami Hurricanes in Week 6, which will be a must-watch matchup. 

Maye doesn’t have the offense that Florida State has, but he’s still one of the best quarterbacks in the country. 

How to Place a Futures Bet on the ACC

Placing a futures wager means you’ll be staking money for something that isn’t going to resolve or see immediate results. With these wagers, you’ll need to wait multiple weeks for the final result, but because of that patience, you’re often given some excellent value should you be correct before the season and landscape of the conference takes place.

Within the college football section of your favorite online sportsbook, you’ll find a section for futures. After browsing the section and making your pick for the ACC Championship winner, you’ll add it to your bet slip and submit a wager. 

From here, wait until the end of the season to see if your bet from months prior was successful.
