In this article, we will formulate a Kansas vs Colorado Prediction for this College Football Week 13 game on Saturday, November 23rd, at Arrowhead Stadium. Let’s take a look at a Kansas Jayhawks vs Colorado Buffaloes pick.
Will Colorado Make the College Football Playoff?
Colorado comes into this game with an 8-2 record, and they believe they can win out to make the college football playoff. In the last game against Utah, Colorado scored 49 points and they ended up giving up 24 points on the way to the blowout victory. Shedeu Sanders had a strong game putting up 340 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. Travis Hunter is also playing like he should win the Heisman Trophy and they are going to need him to have another big game here. Colorado has been scoring an average of 34.1 points per game so far this college football season. This ranks them 26th amongst other offenses. Their defense has allowed for an average of 22.7 points per game, ranking their defense in the 50th position.
Kansas has Confidence
Kansas has a ton of confidence heading into this game after beating two teams in the Top 25. In the last game, the Jayhawks defense gave up only 13 points to a very good BYU offense and that was the difference. Jalon Daniels completed 12 of his 19 passes for 169 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. Devin Neal had another strong game on the ground, rushing 52 times for two touchdowns.
Kansas has averaged 30.1 points per game, ranking their offense in the 51st place amongst other teams in college football so far this season. Their defense has averaged 24.6 points allowed per game, putting them in the 67th spot for rankings. In this game to find success, the defense is going to need to be lights out.
Why Kansas Will Beat Colorado
- Kansas has won three of its last four November games as an underdog.
- Colorado has lost nine of its last 11 games in November.
- Kansas has covered the spread in each of its last five games as an underdog against AP-ranked teams.
Kansas vs Colorado Prediction
Give me Kansas getting the points here. Jalon Daniels is playing with confidence, and so is the Kansas defense. I expect the secondary of the Jayhawks to be good here. This Colorado defense still isn’t good, and they aren’t going to find a lot of success here. I expect Kansas is going to win this game outright, but we will take the points with them being underdogs to be safe. Back Kansas against the spread.
