2023 ACC win total picks: Best bets for Clemson, Florida State and more
The ACC has been a focus in the sports news lately, with Florida State openly threatening to leave the league due to this new wave of college football realignment taking shape.
But what is certain: The ACC will play football in 2023. So with that, let’s dive into our 2023 ACC win totals best bets for the college football season.
2023 Clemson win total picks: Over 10 wins (-130 or better)
All eyes will be on the offense as the Tigers attempt to return to the College Football Playoff.
Clemson brought in offensive coordinator Garrett Riley out of TCU to inject much-needed life into the Tigers' offense. Former five-star quarterback Cade Klubnik showed promise as the starter late in 2022 and the Tigers defense is loaded again with stars like Xavier Thomas, Tyler Davis and Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
With Florida State, Notre Dame and North Carolina all at home, expect Dabo Swinney and the Tigers to nail the over this season if you're betting on 2023 ACC odds.
2023 Florida State win total picks: Over 9.5 wins (-145 or better)
Florida State, a popular pick to win the ACC in 2023, opens against LSU in Tallahassee and then heads to Death Valley on Sept. 23 to meet ACC rival Clemson.
The rest of the schedule is manageable for the Seminoles, who return top stars Jordan Travis, Trey Benson and Johnny Wilson on offense and Jared Verse, a potential first-round NFL Draft pick, on defense. Mike Norvell also added a heralded group of players from the transfer portal.
Bet the over as Florida State may cruise to another 10-win season in 2023.
2023 North Carolina win total picks: Over 8.5 wins (+120 or better)
North Carolina is worth gambling on with reigning conference player of the year Drake Maye returning at quarterback. Maye is among the Heisman favorites and is a potential top-five NFL Draft pick.
Despite a few early season challenges, including South Carolina and Minnesota, North Carolina has a chance to duplicate its 9-1 start from last season. The 2022 Heels closed 0-4, however, and UNC ends this year at Clemson and North Carolina State.
2023 ACC win total best bets: Virginia under 3.5 wins (-151 or better)
It will be an emotional return to football for Virginia, whose 2022 season was cut short when three football players were tragically killed in a campus shooting incident in November.
Can the Cavaliers ride the emotions to a positive season in 2023? It won’t be easy. A tough non-conference schedule includes Tennessee and Maryland on the road. Virginia does avoid ACC favorites Clemson and Florida State. Even so, the Cavaliers will find it difficult to surpass their 3.5-win total.

2023 Miami win total picks: Under 7.5 wins (-143 or better)
Miami brought in two new coordinators and 35 new players to help accelerate the rebuilding process after a disappointing 5-7 finish in Mario Cristobal’s first year.
Tyler Van Dyke returns fully healthy at quarterback and he’ll have a strong offensive line to help him navigate new play-caller Shannon Dawson’s air raid system.
A Kamren Kinchens-led defense should help the Hurricanes return to a bowl game in 2023, but betting the over on 7.5 wins for Miami this season feels like a little much.
2023 ACC win total predictions: Wake Forest over 6.5 wins (+111 or better)
Consistency has been key for the Demon Deacons, who have won at least seven games in six of the last seven seasons and finished 8-5 a year ago under coach Dave Clawson.
Mitch Griffis takes over at quarterback for Wake, who has a shot to start 4-0 before a showdown at Clemson.
Go with another seven-win season for Wake Forest, despite a schedule that toughens in the second half with Florida State, N.C. State and Notre Dame on the docket.
2023 ACC win total odds: NC State over 7 wins (-147 or better)
North Carolina State returns six starters from one of the top defenses in the country and added an experienced quarterback in Virginia transfer Brennan Armstrong.
The Wolfpack have won eight or more games in five of the last six seasons under Dave Doeren and could be a surprise team in the ACC.
