CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The 2022-23 college basketball season is officially kicking off and Bovada has preseason odds for every single team to win their conference. After making it to the 2022 March Madness Finals, North Carolina is leading the ACC odds at +140.

Betting on the ACC Championship

Even though North Carolina is the current favorite to win the ACC and is the number one team in the country, there are plenty of other teams with value for early-season betting. Virginia Tech ended up winning the 2021 ACC tournament with +1200 preseason odds, and Duke was the +250 favorite.

Injuries deflated the Florida State Seminoles’ 2021 season but they are expected to open the season strong in 2022 and have intriguing legal college basketball odds at +1600 to win the ACC.

No team has repeated as winners of the conference since Duke won it three years in a row from 2009 to 2011. However, NC has won back-to-back tournaments in the past, during the 2007 and 2008 seasons.
