Kansas State vs. Colorado Best Bet: Colorado ML +132
The Buffaloes open up as underdogs on their home field despite how impressive Deion Sanders’ squad has been playing the last few weeks. Kansas State is no easy win, but with Colorado looking to make a statement, there’s no better way than to win in front of their home fans against a ranked opponent.
Kansas State vs. Colorado Best Total Bet: Over 55.5
The Wildcats offense has the talent to put up points quickly, as do the Buffaloes. Neither team’s defense can be relied on to take a team out of the game, which has the makings for a shootout. That said, a final score of 34-30 wouldn’t be far-fetched for Saturday night’s matchup.

Kansas State Best Player Bet: DJ Giddens 110+ Rushing Yards +122
DJ Giddens has been the most reliable playmaker for the Kansas State offense through six weeks. The shifty runner is averaging 120 rushing yards per game, including a monster 187 rushing-yard outing against Oklahoma State in the Wildcats last game. With his ability to break any run off for a big gain, Giddens should be in store for another huge performance.
Colorado Best Player Bet: Travis Hunter First Touchdown Scorer +600
Travis Hunter is not only one of the most talented players in this matchup but in the nation. The two-way star is a natural at every position he lines up in, and on Saturday, he could shine again on offense. The wideout is up to 561 receiving yards and five touchdowns on the season. Hunter has a good chance to set the tone Saturday with the first score of the day.
