Colorado Buffaloes vs Kansas State Wildcats Prediction - 11/29/2025
Updated July 9, 2026
The final regular-season game for the Colorado Buffaloes and the Kansas State Wildcats will be an interesting one. That is especially true for Kansas State, which needs a win to become bowl eligible. Colorado will look to prevent that despite some quarterback uncertainty for the Buffaloes. Before this Big 12 matchup kicks off on Saturday, you will be able to see my Colorado vs Kansas State prediction here.

Colorado is expected to start Kaidon Salter again in this game. Salter was benched earlier in the season but is getting the nod here after head coach Deion Sanders opted to sit Julian Lewis to preserve his redshirt status. It will be interesting to see how Salter performs now that he is back in the spotlight.
K-State's offense is led by dual-threat quarterback Avery Johnson. Johnson has 18 passing touchdowns and 8 rushing touchdowns this year and he will try to make a big impact to get K-State to bowl season here.
Score Projection: Kansas State 35 – Colorado 17
Win Probability: Kansas State 88%, Colorado 12%
Kansas State enters this matchup with strong motivation to secure a bowl berth and the personnel to impose its will against Colorado. The Buffaloes should struggle offensively with Salter back on the field and I'll gladly lay the points with K-State in a must-win game for their program.
