One thing that seems to be fairly consistent about the offseason coverage of Michigan State Football heading into their first season under Mel Tucker seems to be the expectations surrounding the team in 2020. While Tucker has done a fine job of recruiting this offseason, the Spartans are expected to be situated at the bottom of the Big Ten. According to SuperBookUSA, Michigan State is a 100/1 underdog to win the 2020 Big Ten Championship.
Ohio State of course had the best odds at 2/5, with Penn State and Wisconsin tying for the second-best odds at 7/1. Michigan and Minnesota round out the top 5 at 16/1.
Odds to win Big Ten via @SuperBookUSA:
Ohio State 2/5
Penn State, Wisconsin 7/1
Michigan, Minnesota 16/1
Nebraska 30/1
Iowa 50/1
Indiana 80/1
Michigan State, Northwestern, Purdue 100/1
Illinois, Maryland 300/1
Rutgers 1,000/1— Brett McMurphy (@Brett_McMurphy) May 11, 2020
With the loss of numerous veterans like Brian Lewerke, Kenny Willekes, Raequan Williams, and Joe Bachie, along with losing two juniors in Josiah Scott and Cody White, Tucker will be taking over a team that is a little barren on talent heading into 2020, so this isn’t exactly a surprising projection by Las Vegas.
