From a college basketball betting perspective, the best bets to win the ACC basketball championship are usually Duke and North Carolina. That could be the case once again this year, as the Blue Devils and Tar Heels are among the favorites to win the ACC basketball championship. But there are several contenders who could upend the traditional powers from Tobacco Road. Here, we break down the ACC championship futures odds for the 2023-24 season.
ACC Basketball Betting Odds
ACC Basketball Futures Betting Outlook
The odds to win the ACC championship this year show that this year’s ACC tournament title will go to either Duke of North Carolina. The Tar Heels won the ACC regular season title, thanks in large part to a sweep of Duke. But Duke is still a slight favorite over UNC in the odds to win the ACC tournament, where they will be expected to meet in the final.
In the ACC tournament, the question will be whether or not a third team can emerge to give Duke and North Carolina a run for their money. Virginia certainly has the level of defense necessary to put a scare into the top-two seeds in the tournament. But the lack of offensive consistency for the Cavaliers could cost them a shot to get to the top of the mountain in Washington, D.C. Meanwhile, the rest of the conference just does not look dangerous enough to trouble these two blue blood programs.
The location of this tournament is an interesting one, as Washington, D.C. does not give a material advantage to Duke or North Carolina. That is a change from the usual situation in this tournament, where Greensboro or New York have served as previous venues. With a more neutral crowd than usual, the players on the court will do more than ever to decide this conference tournament championship.
ACC Conference History
The Atlantic Coast Conference, or ACC, was established in 1953 and is one of the top conferences in NCAA Division I basketball. Perhaps Duke and North Carolina are the two most well-known teams in the conference. The Tar Heels have won the regular season championship a whopping 32 times while adding 18 ACC Tournament championships and six NCAA championships.
Those six NCAA championships give North Carolina the third-most NCAA championships behind Kentucky’s eight and UCLA’s 11. The Blue Devils have won the regular season race 20 times while claiming 22 ACC Tournament championships. Duke has a total of five NCAA Championship titles which ties them with Indiana for the fourth-most NCAA Tournament titles.
ACC teams have combined for the most NCAA Tournament championships with 17. The conference has won two of the past six NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournaments with Virginia getting the job done in 2019 and North Carolina doing so in 2017.
