The Atlantic Coast Conference has outperformed the March Madness betting market yet again.
With the performances of Duke, UNC, NC State and Clemson, the ACC has now gone 29-11 against the spread (ATS) over the last three tournaments, the best out of any conference in the land.
If you had bet $100 on every ACC spread since the 2022 NCAA Tournament, you'd be up $1,530 — the most in the country.
The ACC has four teams in the Sweet 16, the most out of any conference.
Duke, UNC and Clemson are a combined 6-0 straight up and against the spread. NC State is 2-0 straight up, of course, but 1-1 against the spread after a -6.5 line against Oakland lost by the hook with a final score of 79-73 in OT.
The only team to put up a loss was Virginia, which lost their play-in game against Colorado State.
Below are the best market prices as of Monday afternoon for each ACC team ahead of the Sweet 16.

Overall, teams with public backing have gone gangbusters thus far this March Madness.
"The betting public" constitutes a spread that is the most popular for a given game. For instance, for UNC vs. Alabama, the Tar Heels -3.5 was the betting public side, with a vast majority of 83% of all bettors riding on UNC to cover.
UNC won the game 85-69, covering by 12 points.
The public overall is 38-13 against the spread for a 75% win rate thus far this tournament. A $100 per game bettor on the public side has won $2,150 overall — an ROI of about 42%.
