Kansas State Looks to Stay Ranked With a Win

Going into this weekend, the Kansas State Wildcats have a 4-1 overall record and a 1-1 record in Big 12 play. K-State bounced back nicely from their loss to BYU in their conference opener (their first game against a conference opponent against Arizona was not counted as a conference game) by beating Oklahoma State at home two weeks ago. Now, off their bye week, the Wildcats will look to move above the .500 mark with a win over Colorado. But to do that, they will need to be their best at stopping the pass, as Shedeur Sanders has been lighting up opposing defenses all year long.

Could Colorado Get Ranked With a Victory?

The Colorado Buffaloes are also 4-1 this season and they are 2-0 in conference play in the Big 12. The blueprint for Colorado victories is no secret, as they look to outscore their opponents with their dynamic passing offense, while two-way superstar Travis Hunter makes plays on both sides of the ball. Hunter is firmly in the race for the Heisman Trophy this year, as he has six receiving touchdowns and two interceptions on defense as well. As long as the Buffaloes can put him in positions to keep making plays, they will never be out of any game.

Kansas State vs Colorado Betting Pick

Colorado is certainly the more fun team going into this Kansas State vs Colorado matchup. But fun doesn't win football games, substance does. While we expect both teams to do their share of scoring in this game, we expect K-State to win this game at the point of attack. Look for the Wildcats to win and cover the spread as a slight favorite on the road and for Colorado's hype train to slow down for a little while.
