Michigan State basketball has 8th-best odds to win 2025 national title

We are officially three months through the 2024-25 season and Michigan State basketball has done nothing but exceed expectations to this point.

Beginning the season unranked and projected to finish somewhere near the top five in the Big Ten standings, no one could have expected this team would be 18-2 through 20 games and 9-0 in the Big Ten, ranked No. 7 in the country. But that's exactly where the Spartans are.

Tom Izzo has been coaching like a madman and the Spartans have been dominant.

But there's still a long way to go and Izzo is still chasing No. 2 and won't be content with another early exit in the NCAA Tournament. How can he avoid that? Just keep winning and playing the brand of complete basketball that the Spartans have been putting forth.

We are a month away from March which means that the NCAA Tournament is on all of our minds. That also begs the question: what are Michigan State's chances to win it all?

Well, they're the eighth-best odds in the country.

Michigan State is behind Duke, Auburn, Houston, Iowa State, Alabama, Florida, and Tennessee as you can see there's some SEC bias going on there (half joking). The Spartans are also ahead of Kansas who they lost to earlier in the season but I'd be willing to bet that if they played today on a neutral court, Michigan State wins.

If you're a massive believer in this team winning Izzo his second national title, you could make a pretty penny on this bet if Michigan State does end up winning it all.

Vegas is starting to see the vision.
