To no surprise, Michigan State football has opened as a long shot to win the Big Ten in 2025.
Odds for who will win the Big Ten Championship Game in 2025 have been released by FanDuel, and Michigan State is one of the bigger long shots. The Spartans are listed with +12000 odds to be holding up the Big Ten Championship trophy in early December.
Compared to the other Big Ten teams, Michigan State has the 12th best odds to win the league. The Spartans are right behind Minnesota at +11000 and right ahead of Wisconsin at +13000. At the top of the league is Ohio State (shocker) with +185 odds and then Penn State and Oregon at +270 odds.
Michigan State enters next season looking to snap a three-year bowl-less streak -- which is the longest in the Big Ten. The Spartans open the season against Western Michigan on August 29. Kickoff for that matchup is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET.
Check out the complete Big Ten Championship Game winner odds from FanDuel in the post below:

Jaden Akins looking for next opportunity following being unselected in NBA Draft
Former Spartan Jaden Akins went unselected in NBA Draft this week -- so what's next for him? Here's the latest on Akins What's next for former Spartans star Jaden Akins? That's still an unanswered question following the NBA Draft. Akins went unselected during the 2025 NBA Draft this week, with the lone Spartan selected being Jase Richardson by the Orlando Magic with the No. 25 overall pick. Akins wasn't expected to be selected in the two rounds of the NBA Draft, but there was always an outside chance someone would take a flier on him. So what's next for Akins now? Well, we should be seeing him picked up by a team as an undrafted free agent ahead of the NBA summer league. Oddly, though, we haven't seen Akins sign anywhere yet -- which I personally expected to happen by the end of the weekend. Akins started all 72 of the Spartans' games over the last two seasons, averaging double-digits in scoring in both years and providing stellar defensive presence as well. He is slightly undersized for the NBA, though, which ultimately hurt his professional stock in the NBA. Akins worked out for a few teams during the pre-draft process, including the Utah Jazz and Milwaukee Bucks, so we should keep our eyes out for either of those teams signing him for summer league play. I anticipate he will be getting a chance to show what he has at the next level during summer league, and we should hopefully hear of a signing in the next week.

Nebraska's Matt Rhule drops ‘dynamic duo' declaration on Dylan Raiola, Dana Holgorsen
The post Nebraska's Matt Rhule drops 'dynamic duo' declaration on Dylan Raiola, Dana Holgorsen appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Matt Rhule era hasn't quite kicked off just yet at Nebraska football, but the Cornhuskers are hoping that this is the year where they break out as contenders in the Big Ten. Rhule has overseen a number of incredible turnarounds in his third seasons at Temple and Baylor, and he plans on doing the same in Year 3 in Lincoln. Advertisement If that is going to be the case, there are going to have to be some changes and some major improvements from this Nebraska team. The Cornhuskers struggled mightily on offense last season with true freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola, causing them to bring in renowned offensive mind Dana Holgorsen midseason. Despite the duo's struggles last season, Rhule believes that the pair is going to lead one of the best offenses in the Big Ten at Nebraska next season, according to On3 Sports. 'His body looks great,' Rhule said of Raiola. 'And he and Dana [Holgorsen], I think are going to make a dynamic duo. I think we have a chance to be really special on offense.' Raiola had an up-and-down freshman season, but he showed flashes of potential greatness in the future at times. He has strong pocket presence and feel for the game, but inconsistency in accuracy and decision making hurt him at times. Still, he was able to throw for 2,819 yards and 13 touchdowns as a true freshman. Advertisement Despite the highs and lows, Rhule has been impressed with Raiola heading into Year 2 at Nebraska and is expecting big things out of his young quarterback. 'To me, it's not about his highs being any higher. It's about his lows not being so low,' Rhule said of the Nebraska quarterback. 'It's the same for our whole team. What I've loved about Dylan is the consistency he's shown and bought into. He's the same guy every day. He's holding people accountable, starting with himself.' The Big Ten is one of the most loaded conferences in college football and that should be no different next season. Nebraska football will have to be one of the best teams in the nation on both sides of the ball in order to compete, and Rhule is planning on Raiola and Holgorsen lifting the Cornhuskers' offense to that level.

Nebraska gets recruiting win over Ole Miss with 2026 prospect
The post Nebraska gets recruiting win over Ole Miss with 2026 prospect appeared first on ClutchPoints. Nebraska football claimed a rare win over a Southeastern Conference foe Monday. More so on the college football recruiting trail. The Cornhuskers beat out Ole Miss for a talented 2026 lineman. Advertisement The Big Ten university nabbed 6-foot-5, 310-pound lineman Hayden Ainsworth. Hayes Fawcett of On3 confirmed the Biloxi, Mississippi native was courted by Lane Kiffin and the Rebels. North Carolina State missed the cut as well. 'God is truly great! GBR I'm home 1000%!!!' Ainsworth shared in announcing his verbal commitment to Nebraska. Head coach Matt Rhule and his coaching staff secure a massive recruiting win here. It's rare Nebraska dips into Southeastern Conference territory to grab recruits. Past Nebraska teams prioritize the Midwest region. Rhule's 2025 recruiting class even featured no one hailing from Mississippi. He only landed prospects from Florida (wide receiver Cortez Mills), plus two talents from Missouri and one from Kentucky down in SEC country. But Rhule and the 'Huskers gain a huge tackle to build around moving forward. This commitment also makes up for Nebraska losing four players to the transfer portal one month ago. How Nebraska looks recruiting wise compared to Ole Miss, others Dylan Widger-Imagn Images Many 'Go Big Red' fans have risen the expectations of Nebraska now. Rhule enters a pivotal season three in Lincoln. Advertisement The Cornhuskers haven't scaled past seven victories since the 2016 season under former head coach Mike Riley. Rhule did end Nebraska's lengthy bowl drought during 2024. Expectations are higher than ever under Rhule. Cornhusker fans expect Rhule and his team to compete again for a bowl bid, while raising the victory totals higher. And it all starts with who Nebraska pursues in recruiting and in the college football transfer portal. Dylan Raiola making a return fuels the hype for 2025. Nebraska fielded a top 20 recruiting class for 2025 — the highest under Rhule. The Cornhuskers sit at 64th right now for the 2026 rankings — though. Ole Miss is higher at No. 49. Nebraska's 2026 class even sits dead last among Big Ten teams per 247Sports. Nebraska is predicted to go 7-5 for this coming season. But now the Ainsworth commitment should fuel more optimism for 'GBR.'
