Why Colorado can cover
While Kansas State quarterback Avery Johnson is an emerging star, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders is an established star. Sanders has completed 70% of his passes for 1,630 yards, 14 touchdowns and just three interceptions this season, which are nearly twice as strong as Johnson's numbers. Kansas State's defense gave up 342 passing yards to Tulane earlier this season, and it allowed 364 yards to the Cowboys its last time out.
Junior wide receiver Travis Hunter has 46 receptions for 561 yards and six touchdowns while playing shut down defense as a cornerback. He is among the top Heisman Trophy contenders heading into Week 7, and he forms one of the best duos in the country alongside Sanders. Colorado has covered the spread in six of its last eight games as an underdog, with head coach Deion Sanders knowing what buttons to press to get his team motivated for this type of game.

Why Kansas State can cover
Kansas State is coming off its most impressive win of the season, cruising to a 22-point win over then-No. 20 Oklahoma State. Sophomore quarterback Avery Johnson completed 19 of 31 passes for 259 yards and three touchdowns while rushing for 60 yards and two more scores. Junior running back DJ Giddens was arguably just as impressive in that game, rushing 15 times for 187 yards and a score.
The Wildcats are averaging the seventh-most rushing yards per game (252.2) nationally, and they are facing a Colorado defense that is allowing the fourth-most yards per game (379.6) in the Big 12. Colorado's win over UCF does not look as impressive after the Knights lost to Florida by two scores last week. Kansas State has covered the spread in 10 of its last 14 Big 12 games, while Colorado is 3-15 in its last 18 October games. See which team to pick here.
