I’m not an avid gambler, but there’s one thing for sure that I know:

Miami & betting odd favorites in the ACC has been an ongoing theme since forever. There’s way more than this, but it’s the same rhetoric **** near every off-season since joining the conference. Sans a couple of years, we’ve been in the Top 3 odds-on favorites for either the entire ACC or former Coastal more than I care to post.

It’s absolutely meaningless until we can actually fulfill expectations.

Two not so-very promising signs from someone involved in the industry.

Miami has been lengthened to +3 opening week against ND after originally opening +1. Circa actually flashed a +4 (that was quickly gobbled up). Anything over 3 was too many points, but sharps have generally been all over the Irish, despite what should be a hostile environment.

Miami also opened -6 against UF, that has now plummeted to -3.5. Lot of steam and hype for the Gators; color me skeptical, but nonetheless they should be better than 2024.

Two big games, two games the market is fading the Canes. Those first 4 game of the season in general, are so critical for this team’s outlook.

No sure why you’re making up numbers. Canes opened vs nd At +2.5 and are now at +3. Same players and coaches.

Canes similarly slid from 3 point favs over the turds to 2.5. Again nothing changed. Miami was never 6 point favs at any site.

Your doom and gloom “plummeted” is bs

Sir, with all respect, I wasn’t using that meme to call you actually ***. I was using it to poke fun at you for expressing such effeminate emotions like “Clemson is so much better than us” and “Mario will never win here” two statement which are “***” . Thanks

Lmao, ok.

As if I don’t know the openers, but you sure do. Probably staring at some Athlon Sports Article or a stale oddscreen that doesn’t go as far back as January, when the games of the year started dropping. They didn’t hit oddscreens til April/May when rotation numbers started popping up.

I’ll bet you whatever amount of money you want DraftKings opened Miami -6.5 against UF and Notre Dame -1.5 @ Miami back in late January. FD was there with ND, think they opened +6 for Florida and not 6.5 (still a sizable move regardless).

You’re gonna lose that bet, just a heads up. But continue making it a mope thing instead of arguing against concrete facts.

I would put my money on Clemson because they know how to win. I have ZERO confidence in Mario as head coach to lead us to an ACC Championship or to the playoffs. He is a great recruiter and will give him that but one of the worst day game coaches in America. Just stating the facts.

Until he stacks elite DTs he will fall short

Well one thing is Miami will be much bigger at DT than last year and really in Mario's tenure.

Last season you had Barrow and Mesidor starting at DT. Barrow was like 6'1 288, and Mesidor was 6'2 maybe 280.

This year you will start Moten 6'3 310 and Blay at 6'4 304, and Scott could break into lineup at 6'4 300.

Your 4th DT will be either Jones at 6'3 310 or Donta Simpson who is 6'4 maybe already 300.

With Bain at 270 and Mesidor back down around 270, your overall size on DL maybe biggest in the conference.

Here are the week 1 betting odds from last year and the result:

Clemson at Georgia -13.5 Actual: Georgia by 31
Miami -2.5 at Florida Actual: Miami by 24
Notre Dame at Texas A&M -3 Actual: Notre Dame by 10
USC at LSU -4 Actual: USC by 7

In the 4 major games of the weekend the betting markets were off by an average of 17 points. Nobody knows s*** preseason. Especially two teams with two new QBs. Miami could lose by 3 TDs but it's not because anyone knew anything.

Say, how did FSU do against the odds that week? I bet there were some interesting bets placed.

These two are pretty basic DTs regardless of size I dont consider them big difference makers. I need to see more of Scott to see if he lives up to that 5 star billing, Jones we need to see who I was high on but IMO never a good sign when someone aint cracking the lineup early. When someone if forced to play year one either the team is really bad or the player (like Bain) is too good to keep off the field. Young guys that are dogs everywhere around the country usually play year one if they are difference makers. Simpson I want to see cause we heard a lot about him in the off season, they talked of him like we found a gem that was under rated. We shall see this season, the truth will be told on the field and our opinions will be just that opinions.

I have Clemson as my runner up for the NC this season, so I don't have us winning the ACC. We have to see, a long way away fro the ACC CH. We need to stay pretty healthy at several spots, but I am starting to believe in this roster. Blay certainly isn't those measurables. I am counting on DE's to help inside.

Last year we opened -3.5 against UiF and closed at -2.5

I remember this because the wanna be sharp betting ****boys started posting being worried

Not because of practical analysis but because of what sharps were betting

It’s 2025 everyone understands how line movement works

As expected, the Hurricanes are among the top betting favorites to win the ACC, according to the latest odds released by FanDuel.

The Hurricanes come in at +380 to win the ACC, placing them second in the conference behind the Clemson Tigers, who lead the way with +120 odds.

These bettings odds means FanDuel is projecting Miami to reach the ACC Championship Game for just the second time since joining the ACC conference.

The Hurricanes came up short of the ACC championship game last season, so making it this year would definitely be a step in the right direction.

Here’s a look at FanDuel's full list of betting odds to win the ACC:

ACC Betting Odds

  • Clemson: +120
  • Miami: +380
  • Louisville: +750
  • SMU: +850
  • Georgia Tech: +1300
  • Duke: +2600
  • Florida State: +3100
  • NC State: +4100
  • North Carolina: +4200
  • Pittsburgh: +4300
  • Virginia Tech: +4500
  • Syracuse: +5500
  • Boston College: +6500
  • Virginia: +9000
  • California: +13000
  • Wake Forest: +30000
  • Stanford: +30000

The odds suggest a competitive race, but the gap between Miami and the top contender, Clemson, is noticeable. Louisville, SMU, and others also have their eyes on the title with odds ranging from +750 to +850, which indicates some competition for that coveted spot.
