The downtrodden Cowboys came to life a bit last week behind a QB change and a strong game from RB Ollie Gordon. Their Swiss-cheese defense remains a problem but this is still plenty of points to take against a Colorado team in a potential down spot following last week's loss to Kansas.

I realize I'm not getting the best number on this line, but I don't think it's going to matter. Oklahoma State (3-8) has lost eight in a row and has nothing to play for. The Cowboys also rank 117th in the country in scoring defense (34.1 points per game). That bodes well for a Colorado team that could still reach the Big 12 title game with a win. I expect Coach Prime will want to send both Heisman Trophy favorite Travis Hunter and quarterback Shedeur Sanders out with big numbers in what may be their last college game. So I think we'll see the Buffaloes keep piling on the points.
