This six-week meeting between two of the best teams in the Big 12 could go a million different ways. “Nobody knows how this game is going to go,” Kansas State head coach Chris Klieman said Monday. Colorado may have the best QB in college football and is the frontrunner for the Heisman Trophy, but Kansas State may be the most complete team in the conference right now, despite the Buffs’ major improvements.

The Wildcats’ rushing attack, even if slowed down a bit, could limit Colorado’s offensive opportunities and shorten the game. The Improvements have also had trouble containing mobile QBs this season dating back to the season opener versus NDSU (where Klieman coached before taking over at Kansas State).

Saturday’s game could play out similarly to Colorado’s Week 1 (31-26) win over the Bison. The Wildcats, unlike NDSU, actually have the talent to compete with the Buffs’ stars.

Kansas State wins 37-35.

Kansas State is a 3.5-point favorite to beat Colorado as of Saturday afternoon, according to BetMGM college football odds.

Colorado will have its entire base defense back for Kansas State, Deion Sanders said Tuesday.

That group also includes starting safety Shilo Sanders, who has been out of the lineup since Week 2 when he suffered a forearm injury that required surgery.

“Shilo is ready,” Deion Sanders said Tuesday. “He’s practicing, he’s full-go, he’s got a rubber cast on, he’s doing his thing. I can’t wait to see him out there again because he and Cam (Silmon-Craig) are incredible together.”
