Colorado vs Kansas Prediction
The Kansas Jayhawks will be up for this game on senior night for a roster that has 33 seniors. Kansas has also been on an underdog tear lately, upsetting Iowa State and BYU back-to-back weeks and nearly beating Kansas State before that. With all that said, the Colorado Buffaloes are on a roll right now as they inch closer to a Big 12 title and a CFB playoff spot. Kansas can be spotty defensively, and that's not ideal when going up against an explosive offensive side in Colorado. I'd need more points to pull the trigger on the Jayhawks. Give me Colorado.
