ESPN’s SP+ has released its score predictions for every Big Ten game in Week 12.

There are a total of 7 Big Ten games this weekend, including one on Friday evening between old Pac-12 foes UCLA and Washington. The slate is headlined by new conference matchups such as Nebraska-USC and Oregon-Wisconsin.

Here’s SP+’s score predictions for all 7 Big Ten games this week:

  • Washington 29, UCLA 19
  • Ohio State 37, Northwestern 6
  • Illinois 27, Michigan State 17
  • Penn State 42, Purdue 8
  • USC 29, Nebraska 21
  • Maryland 24, Rutgers 24
  • Oregon 35, Wisconsin 16

The Maryland-Rutgers game is expected to be especially close, per SP+. While the projection rounds each score to show 24-24, SP+ is favoring the Terps by 0.8 points in this matchup. Maryland is given a win probability of 52%.

The other 6 games this weekend are not projected to be particularly close, per ESPN’s model. The only other contest featuring teams separated by single digits is USC-Nebraska, and SP+ favors the Trojans by 8 points in that game.

Oregon, Ohio State and Penn State are all projected to win in blowout fashion as they continue their march toward College Football Playoff berths.

Here’s SP+’s score predictions for every game this weekend:
