Colorado vs. North Dakota State predictions, odds: 2024 college football expert picks, Deion Sanders best bets

After another offseason full of roster turnover and national media attention, the Colorado Buffaloes are set to kickoff their second season under head coach Deion Sanders when they host FCS powerhouse North Dakota State on Thursday. The Buffs are coming off a 4-8 season, but Coach Prime returns a pair of Heisman Trophy candidates in quarterback Shedeur Sanders and two-way standout Travis Hunter, and he signed the No. 8 transfer class, according to 247Sports. NDSU is ranked No. 2 at the FCS level, and Tim Polasek is back to lead the Bison after spending the last three seasons as the offensive coordinator at Wyoming. Polasek was previously an assistant on four national championship teams at NDSU. Bison quarterback Cam Miller is one of the top candidates in the country to win the Walter Payton Award.

Kickoff from Folsom Field in Boulder, Colo. is set for 8 p.m. ET.
