Miami has been playing with fire all season long, relying on Heisman Trophy candidate Cam Ward to bail the Hurricanes out. That script was not followed with the Hurricanes suffering a loss to Georgia Tech that defied the odds. Will there be more surprises in the ACC in Week 12?
When looking at the college football spreads, the most competitive ACC games in Week 12 could come when Syracuse plays at Cal and Clemson wraps up ACC play with a dangerous road game against Pittsburgh.
With Miami’s loss, there are no ACC teams among the top 10 teams in our odds of winning the national championship. Miami is ninth and SMU is 14th in the latest College Football Playoff rankings. No. 19 Louisville and No. 20 Clemson also made the top 25.
Let’s take a look at my best NCAAF picks and predictions for the ACC in Week 12.
Top 3 Picks for the ACC in Week 12
1. Take Pittsburgh to Cover as Home Underdog
The 2024 Clemson team will not go down as one of the most talented squads during head coach Dabo Swinney’s remarkable run with the Tigers. However, Clemson heads into its final ACC game of the regular season needing to win to keep its hopes of reaching the ACC Championship Game alive.

The last time Pittsburgh played host to Clemson was in 2021 with the Panthers winning 27-17 as a 3.5-point favorite. This time, the Tigers are favored by 10 points in the Clemson vs Pittsburgh betting lines after the Panthers stumbled in their last two games.
That line seems to be a bit on the high side so take a long look at the Panthers as Pittsburgh looks to cover as a home underdog for the fourth game in a row.

2. Ready For Another High-Scoring UNC-Wake Forest Matchup?
The last three times that North Carolina and Wake Forest got together, there were 70. 113 and 112 points scored. No ACC team has allowed more yards per game than Wake Forest with only conference newcomer Stanford surrendering more points per game.

Per North Carolina vs Wake Forest betting trends, Saturday’s total of 64 points and that is the lowest for a matchup between the Demon Deacons and the Tar Heels since 2015. Jump on that number before it starts to move.
Bet This Pick: North Carolina-Wake Forest game to land over 64
3. Syracuse Could Strike First in Week 12 Showdown
Syracuse has lost its last two road games. However, quarterback Kyle McCord threw for 392 yards in the Week 11 loss at Boston College. It might be harder to sustain drives against a Cal team that allows the fewest yards in the ACC this season.
Cal just allowed 36 points to a four-win Wake Forest team, and Syracuse is looking to bounce back after an early missed field goal resulted in the Orange being held scoreless in the first quarter against Boston College.
When making NCAA football picks, why not take a chance and go with Syracuse at +126 to open the scoring?
Bet This Pick: Syracuse to score first against California (+126)
