Michigan State football coach Mel Tucker is known for his bold statements. And after the Spartans' 35-13 win over Akron on Saturday, Tucker made another one.

"We're going to take the over on wins this year," Tucker said.

Tucker's comments come after Michigan State finished 5-7 last season and was picked to finish sixth in the Big Ten East this year.

What Does 'Take the Over' Mean?

'Taking the over' is when you bet that a team will win more games than the number set by oddsmakers.

What Are the Chances of Michigan State 'Taking the Over'?

The chances of Michigan State 'taking the over' are difficult to predict.

The Spartans have a tough schedule this season, including games against Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State.

However, Michigan State also has a lot of talent on its roster, including quarterback Payton Thorne and running back Kenneth Walker III.

What Are the Implications of Michigan State 'Taking the Over'?

If Michigan State 'takes the over', it would be a major accomplishment for Tucker and the Spartans.

It would also be a sign that Michigan State is back on the right track after a few down years.

However, if Michigan State does not 'take the over', it could be a setback for Tucker and the Spartans.

It could also lead to questions about Tucker's ability to lead Michigan State to success.

Conclusion
