Pick:  Oklahoma State +16.5

Final Score Prediction:  Colorado 41, Oklahoma State 34

• Colorado is the better team on paper as OSU is winless in conference and has struggled on both sides of the ball this year
• However, in the last two games, OSU RB Ollie Gordon has rushed for over 100 yards against TCU and Texas Tech
• OSU started a freshman QB last week (M Smith) and the offense responded with 48 points in a loss
• The OSU defense is bad and will give up some big plays and broken tackles, but this one should end in a high-scoring shootout
• Senior Day in Boulder – last home game for stars Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter – they will be distracted
• OSU is trying to avoid a winless conference season while Colorado clings to long shot playoff hopes – pressure is all on CU
