Colorado Buffaloes vs. Kansas State Wildcats Prediction

I’m on Kansas State here. I get the case to be made for an underdog in spots, but Colorado’s gone 0-4 SU/ATS on the road this season and it’s just been hard to get behind Colorado in any way, shape or form given what we’ve seen from them away from Boulder this season. K-State hasn’t been much better, but they at least have the added motivation of Senior Day and a bowl game for those seniors to play for and bottom line is I think they simply steamroll Colorado here. Give me K-State.
