ESPN’s SP+ has published its score predictions for every Week 3 college football game.

That includes projections for all 13 B1G contests this upcoming weekend. Here’s a look at SP+’s predicted score for every Big Ten game in Week 3:

  • Alabama 33, Wisconsin 15
  • Michigan 40, Arkansas State 11
  • Illinois 36, Central Michigan 14
  • Minnesota 36, Nevada 11
  • Notre Dame 31, Purdue 20
  • Oregon 36, Oregon State 23
  • Michigan State 40, Prairie View A&M 0
  • Washington 35, Washington State 25
  • Iowa 32, Troy 8
  • UCLA 26, Indiana 23
  • Nebraska 27, Northern Iowa 5
  • Northwestern 32, Eastern Illinois 3
  • Maryland 28, Virginia 24

Wisconsin is hosting Alabama in the biggest nonconference game of the weekend for the Big Ten. However, the Badgers are big underdogs against Alabama even at home — both according to Vegas and this SP+ projection.

Oregon and Washington will be taking on old Pac-12 rivals Oregon State and Washington State, respectively this week. Both of the Big Ten’s arrivals are considerable favorites over their in-state counterparts on Saturday, per SP+.

UCLA and Indiana will also play in a Big Ten showdown this week. For the Bruins, it’s their first-ever matchup against a Big Ten opponent. It will also be the first-ever meeting between these programs on the gridiron.

Here’s SP+ score predictions for every other FBS game in Week 3:
