Tuesday night kicks off the 2020 ACC Tournament from Greensboro, North Carolina. The four top seeds; Florida State, Virginia, Louisville and Duke all get a bye into the quarterfinals that begin Thursday but odds are out for all 14 ACC schools.
Per BetMGM, top-seeded Florida State enters the tournament as a +200 betting favorite. For the inexperienced gamblers, that simply means for every dollar you risk betting Florida State to win it all, you’ll be rewarded with two dollars in winnings. For instance – a ten dollar bet on Florida State would pay $30 ($20 in winnings and your $10 bet back). Keep that in mind for the rest of the odds.
Duke may enter the tournament with the fourth seed but has the second best odds of winning at +240. No. 3 Louisville (+340) and No.4 Virginia (+700) round out the teams with byes through the first and second rounds.
From there odds drop significantly as you’ll find No. 5 North Carolina State at +2500 while No. 6 Syracuse and No. 8 Clemson both pay +3300 odds. After that is finally where you’ll find No. 7 Notre Dame at +4000 or 40-1 odds.
No. 14 North Carolina checks in at +5500 before No. 9 Miami and No. 13 Wake Forest at +10000. No. 11 Virginia Tech has the second longest odds at +15000 while Notre Dame’s first round opponent, No. 10 Boston College has the longest odds on the board at +20000.

The most interesting bet on the board to me is Louisville at +340. They dropped two of their final three regular season contests and three of their final six but find themselves with plenty of talent and on the other side of the bracket than both Florida State and Duke, instead having a very-beatable despite good Virginia team on their side.
