ESPN's SP+ predicts final score of every B1G game in Week 7
ESPN’s SP+ published its final score predictions for every Week 7 college football game, including all 7 Big Ten contests.
Here’s a look at SP+’s predicted score for every Big Ten game in Week 7:
- Ohio State 29, Oregon 26
- Penn State 33, USC 24
- Maryland 28, Northwestern 16
- Washington 22, Iowa 21
- Rutgers 23, Wisconsin 21
- Illinois 33, Purdue 17
- Minnesota 27, UCLA 20
The game of the week in the Big Ten might just turn out to be the Game of the Year in college football, as No. 2 Ohio State visits No. 3 Oregon in a primetime showdown in Eugene. This will be Oregon’s 1st real Big Ten showcase game, and the Ducks will get to play it in the friendly confines of Autzen Stadium. Still, the ESPN matchup predictor only gives Oregon a 35.8% chance to prevail against Ohio State.
Another interesting matchup in Week 7 in the Big Ten has No. 4 Penn State also traveling west to face a struggling USC team that is now unranked after last week’s loss at Minnesota. The Trojans fell to 3-2 overall with the loss to the Golden Gophers and now have their hands full with an undefeated Nittany Lions team. ESPN’s matchup predictor believes USC has a chance to resurrect its season though, giving the Trojans a 51.6% chance to pull the upset.
Meanwhile, No. 23 Illinois, one of the season’s early surprises, will look to keep its momentum going as it hosts Purdue.
