The Kansas State Wildcats and the Colorado Buffaloes will meet from Boulder on Saturday night. Tonight is a key game in the Big 12 standings.
Kansas State begins the contest with a 4-1 record, ranking 18th in the nation. Entering the season, K-State had the second-best odds of winning the Big 12.
After Utah's loss last night, this conference appears to be wide open. The Wildcats' lone loss came against BYU in a game where they were blown out 38-9.
K-State responded nicely to its loss, beating Oklahoma State 42-20 two weeks ago. A win tonight would go a long way for the Wildcats and greatly improve their odds of winning the conference. A loss would likely end the Wildcats playoff chances.

Kansas State vs. Colorado Prediction
Avery Johnson leads the Wildcats' offense, throwing for 879 yards, nine touchdowns, and four interceptions.
Kansas City native DJ Giddens leads the ground game with 604 yards and two touchdowns. Giddens is one of the best running backs in college football.
Sophomore Jayce Brown leads the team with 277 yards and one touchdown.
Colorado begins this game with a record of 4-1. After a disappointing end to 2023, the Deion Sanders team has come out red-hot in 2024. The Buffs have not reached a bowl game since 2016. Colorado is just two wins away from reaching a bowl game.
The Buffaloes, who were nearly two-touchdown underdogs last weekend on the road against UCF, picked up an impressive win. A win tonight would be the biggest win in the Deion Sanders' era.
Shedeur Sanders leads the team, throwing for 1,630 yards, 14 touchdowns, and three interceptions.
Isaiah Augustave has rushed for a team-high 117 yards.
Travis Hunter leads the Buffs with 561 yards and six touchdowns. Hunter is one of the favorites to win the Heisman Trophy.
Kansas State vs. Colorado Prediction
Anyone who has followed me knows how much I like this Colorado team.
However, the Buffs do not match up well with this Wildcats team.
Kansas State will control the line of scrimmage and time of possession tonight.
Colorado's inability to run the football will cost them a win tonight.
