Our Kansas State vs. Colorado predictions are high on the Wildcats in what could be a high-scoring affair.
Kansas State is a 5.5-point favorite against Colorado, but we think that number should be even higher. Find out why in our college football picks below.No Power Four conference is as wide open as the Big 12, which makes Kansas State’s matchup against Deion Sanders’ Colorado program all the more important.
It ranks 14th in SP+ and Johnson, DJ Giddens, and Dylan Edwards have the Wildcats rushing for the seventh-most yards per game . Johnson’s also coming off a career-best game as a passer with 259 yards, three touchdown passes, two big-time throws, and an ADOT of 9.7 against the Cowboys, per Either that or BYU isn’t getting enough respect from sportsbooks, so K-State’s being punished more than it should be for that loss. The public loves Colorado, so this spread could drop another point when, in reality, the Wildcats should be favored by at least 6.5 points.
Sanders is third in the country in big-time throws and is the only QB with 12+ big-time throws, fewer than four turnover-worthy plays , and an adjusted completion rate of over 79%. That will come in handy against a Colorado defense that’s missed 43 tackles in five games and is allowing 26.6 points per game in Power Four games. Those three Power Four games came against UCF, Baylor, and Nebraska — all of which rank far below Kansas State in SP+ on offense.
