ACC Football Odds 2024
Further down the list at North Carolina sportsbooks, you’ll find UNC in the middle of the pack, then Duke and Wake Forest toward the bottom of odds to win the conference race. This is the first ACC football season with three universities well outside of the traditional ACC footprint: Southern Methodist, Stanford and California. They were invited after the latest round of realignment, which saw the demise of the Pac-12, where Cal and Stanford had belonged for decades.
