ESPN’s SP+ has released score predictions for every game in Week 8.

Of the 18 Big Ten programs, 14 are in action this week. Washington, Ohio State, Penn State and Minnesota are all idle in Week 7. Here’s a look at the score predictions for every B1G game this weekend:

  • Oregon 43, Purdue 17
  • Indiana 25, Nebraska 20
  • Rutgers 28, UCLA 18
  • Wisconsin 24, Northwestern 18
  • Michigan 26, Illinois 21
  • USC 31, Maryland 26
  • Iowa 25, Michigan State 14

There’s only 1 top-25 matchup in the Big Ten this weekend: No. 24 Michigan at No. 22 Illinois. The loser of that matchup will likely be out of the top-25 next week, and SP+ is giving the slight edge to the Wolverines.

Nebraska at Indiana was nearly a top-25 matchup, but the Huskers just missed out on being ranked this weekend. The Hoosiers will put their undefeated record on the line this weekend as both of these teams search for a big win. SP+ is projecting IU to hand Nebraska its second loss of the season.

With Ohio State and Penn State on bye, Oregon is the only other ranked Big Ten team who is playing this weekend. The Ducks will battle Purdue on Friday night in West Lafayette.

Here’s the full list of score predictions from SP+ for Week 8:
