Why Colorado can cover
Colorado is one of five teams in the Big 12 with a perfect record in conference play, and it enters this matchup on a three-game winning streak. The Buffaloes are coming off their most impressive performance of the season, notching a 48-21 win at UCF at the end of September. Their defense held the then-No. 1 rushing attack in the country to just 177 yards, which was nearly 200 yards shy of their average.
They also racked up five sacks and 13 tackles for a loss in that game, and safety Shilo Sanders (forearm) is expected to return for Saturday’s matchup against the Wildcats. Senior quarterback Shedeur Sanders has thrown for 1,630 yards and 14 touchdowns, tied for second nationally with 27.6 completions per game. Wide receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter has 561 receiving yards and six touchdowns as one of the top Heisman Trophy contenders. See which team to pick here.
Why Kansas State can cover
Kansas State is coming off its most impressive win of the season, cruising to a 22-point win over then-No. 20 Oklahoma State. Sophomore quarterback Avery Johnson completed 19 of 31 passes for 259 yards and three touchdowns while rushing for 60 yards and two more scores. Junior running back DJ Giddens was arguably just as impressive in that game, rushing 15 times for 187 yards and a score.
The Wildcats are averaging the seventh-most rushing yards per game (252.2) nationally, and they are facing a Colorado defense that is allowing the fourth-most yards per game (379.6) in the Big 12. Colorado’s win over UCF does not look as impressive after the Knights lost to Florida by two scores last week. Kansas State has covered the spread in 10 of its last 14 Big 12 games, while Colorado is 3-15 in its last 18 October games. See which team to pick here.
