ESPN's SP+ predicts final score for every B1G game in Week 13
ESPN’s SP+ has released its score predictions for every B1G game in Week 13.
There are a total of 8 B1G games this weekend while Oregon and Washington are on bye weeks. Every B1G team is playing a conference matchup this weekend, with the notable exceptions of Oregon and Washington (both are idle).
The action is slated to kick off on Friday night with Purdue at Michigan State. Here are SP+’s score predictions for every B1G game in Week 13:
- Purdue 19, Michigan State 30
- Rutgers 24, Illinois 23
- Ohio State 31, Indiana 19
- Iowa 29, Maryland 16
- Northwestern 13, Michigan 28
- Penn State 30, Minnesota 15
- Nebraska 21, Wisconsin 20
- USC 34, UCLA 20
The model sees 2 of these conference games being especially close. Rutgers is predicted to win by just a point with a 53% chance of victory over Illinois. Nebraska is also predicted to win by a single point and is given a 53% chance to take down Wisconsin.
Every other game is predicted to be decided by 10 or more points. The biggest mismatches of the weekend, according to the model, are Penn State at Minnesota and Northwestern at Michigan. The Nittany Lions and Wolverines are both predicted to win their games by 15 points.
The rivalry between USC and UCLA is also predicted to be lopsided, with the Trojans having a projected 14-point edge and an 81% chance to win the game. Michigan State, Ohio State, and Iowa are predicted to win by 10+ and comfortably add another win to their résumés.
