Kansas State vs. Colorado pick - Week 6

Colorado +4.5 (-110)

If you wanna compare quarterbacks, Colorado's Shedeur Sanders is much more tasty than Kansas State's Avery Johnson. Sanders has completed 138 of 197 (70%) for 1,630 yards, with 14 TDs and just 3 INTs. Johnson has completed 77 of 126 (61%) for 879 yards, with 9 TDs and 4 INTs. Advantage Shedeur. Those are the numbers on the field.

Off the field, when it comes to NIL, it's NO CONTEST. Sanders has been cashing HUMUNGOUS NIL checks and owns the highest  valuation among all college athletes at $4.7 million. NO ONE else is at $4 million. Sanders also has the keys to a $250,000 Lamborghini Urus, with a Mercedes-Maybach ($175,000) and Corvette Stingray ($60,000) sitting in the garage.

According to collegenetworth.com, Johnson's bank is sitting at $256,000 which ain't bad. Think that Avery drives a 2016 Dodge Charger that probably needs new brakes and an oil change.   

If the QBs are dramatically different, so is each teams rushing attack. The visiting Wildcats will run it down your throat, like they did against Oklahoma State last week, gobbling up 300 yards. And the main horse, DJ Giddens, had 187 yards against OK State last week and leads the Big 12 with 604 total yards.

After looking at the Buffaloes work against the run, there are holes to be found. They gave up 157 rushing yards to North Dakota State in the opener, 149 yards to Nebraska, 131 yards to Colorado State, 166 yards to Baylor and 177 yards to UCF.

So while there will be chunks gobbled up on the ground by the Wildcats, this game will be won in the air. I looked at K-State's work against the pass, Shedeur should be smiling from ear to ear. The Wildcats gave up 342 air yards to Tulane, 268 yards to Arizona, 149 yards to BYU, but the Cougars just threw 15 passes, and a gigantic 364 yards last week to the Cowboys from Stillwater.

Bank of Benj is expecting a close contest with multiple points and a last minute FG to decide the game, so we're on the Buffs but don't think it's gonna be a stampede. If the line holds steady at +4.5, then plz buy the hook to +5.

Kansas State vs Colorado Prop Picks

Shedeur Sanders Anytime TD (+$270)

Sanders likes to dance and when the Buffaloes get close, look for a gorgeous tip toe into the end zone.

And if you wanna lay a YUGE price, FanDuel has LaJohntay Wester on the alternate receiving yards line at -600

Why would anyone be an idiot and lay 6/1??? Well, in five games so far this season, he has gone for 34, 68, 80 and 58. The only UNDER (20 yards) was against Nebraska. Gimme Over 25 yards for the money.
