The calendar has rolled into October. By now we have a good feel for most teams on the field and how they perform at the betting counter. These week all of our NC-based ACC teams are underdogs.
NC State +3.5 vs Louisville (Over/Under 66)
- – While being 4-1 overall, State is just 1-4 ATS this season (0-3 at home)
- – Since Louisville has joined the ACC, State is 1-2 ATS vs the Cards
- – Under Doeren, State is just 3-7 ATS as a home underdog
Pick: In what is probably the most important State home game in 7 years, let’s take the Pack to cover the spread and take the OVER
UNC +14 vs Notre Dame (Over/Under 59.5)
- – Like NC State, UNC is just 1-4 ATS this season (0-3 at home)
- – In last 3 games vs Notre Dame, UNC is 2-1 ATS and all 3 games have gone over
- – Under Fedora, UNC is just 9-13 ATS
Pick: Notre Dame may be without their QB. Let’s take the Heels and UNDER
Duke +2.5 @ Virginia (Over/Under 54)
- – Under Cut, Duke is 7-2-1 ATS in games vs Virginia
- – Duke has covered nearly 70% of all road games in last 5 years

Wake Forest +21.5 @ Clemson (Over/Under 47.5)
- – Wake Forest has covered the last 3 games vs Clemson
