Am I missing something here? Thinking Kansas State covers easy.
I don’t gamble but when something jumps out to me I would love a counterpoint.

Kansas State laid a steaming turd against BYU and got stomped. That’s the only thing I got. Otherwise they have looked good and I think they’ll make an effort to play bully ball which is Colorado’s downfall.

They needed a call to get out of that Tulane game. That's both their road performances being pretty sketchy.

Fluke game. They bounced back and won me a lot of money against Okie St.
They should handle the Buffs. However Colorado is the type of team that could give KSU a lot of problems if they jump ahead.

i think colorado can win this game.
you make kst qb, become a pocket passer and they are beatable, and he's stoppable. you let him run and throw, and cu in trouble.

I expect it to be similar to CU-Nebraska earlier this season

My gf who uses a computer model for analysis is picking KSU. She thinks Johnson will have success running the ball.

I think K-State wins a close one and then loses the weekend after at WVU.

CU might be the most unpredictable team in the country, I can see them winning. I can also see them losing by 30

NDSU and Baylor were able to make it close with Colorado in part because of QB runs.
Colorado has to have a good plan for Avery Johnson. It could be a high-scoring game if Johnson is gliding around for first downs, and the Colorado OL is able to give Shedeur some time. Those are the keys to me.
Nikhai Hill-Green could also be a key player. If you haven't seen him play, he flies around hits.

K State has to keep Shadeur in the pocket so he does not have time or room to roll out or scramble to buy time on plays. If you give him more than 3.5 seconds the game is close. Give him any more than that and his odds of winning and lighting up a secondary is almost certain.
CU has an excellent receiving corps and more than 3.5 seconds for Travis Hunter is almost unfair.
If I'm K State though I want to run a lot of plays towards Hunter's side of the field and I want to only pass maybe 20 -25 times a game with long 7-8 minute drives....wear him out. If he's on the field for 60+ offensive plays, somewhere before 70 you'll break him if he is also pulling 50 on offense.
With Hunter it's attrition you have to play. Horn benefits from Hunter generally early in a game as everyone keys on Hunter as the game wears on, generally Horn becomes less of a factor.
Defensively. Colorado has improved greatly against the run. But running QBs still give them bad dreams and A. Johnson is not afraid to be a runningback type who will pound the rock himself.

Why does your gf use a computer model for CFB picks?

It's actually not necessary for Hunter to play all those snaps. Colorado has Omarion Miller, along with Horn Jr., Wester, Sheppard, and a frosh with potential, Drelon Miller. But as far as wearing him down, I don't know where you're getting that idea. The only time he seemed to really be affected by playing so much was last year against Stanford. That was after missing some games due to injury.

As the season moves on he will get worn down. Sooner or later those ice baths and hyper basic treatments, etc bring diminishing returns. He's fortunate to be playing in Colorado with limited humidity and a temperate climate. I know he did the same at JSU, but he was a MAN among boys. I think Deion needs to start thinking of limiting down at least his offensive plays after this week. Maybe he only plays 60 -70 % of what he does now.
He's fun to watch.
