In this Kansas vs Colorado Prediction, Kansas is coming as -5 road favorites. Both teams have almost identical overall records this season but Colorado has been very strong at home, while Kansas is struggling on the road. But Colorado has been struggling lately with three consecutive losses and are 3-5 against the spread in their last 8 games, while on the other hand, Kansas is 7-2 in its last 9 games and 6-3 against the spread, while having a top-30 defense in the country, so I like them on the road in this matchup. Take Kansas and lay the -5 points.
