Prediction Summary

Oklahoma State is the better side overall, but the clearest value is on Colorado's team total under because the Buffaloes have not been a reliable scoring group and now face a Cowboys defense that has been tougher at home. Colorado's season averages and road efficiency suggest a number in the high teens to low 20s is more realistic than an explosive output. A projected 31-20 Oklahoma State win keeps the game on the lower side of the total and supports Colorado finishing below its team scoring mark.
