Arizona State Football Bowl Projections: Odds For Sun Devils’ 2025-26 Bowl Game
The Arizona State Sun Devils are officially going bowling for the second straight season, as head coach Kenny Dillingham’s bunch pulled off the team’s sixth win of the year in Ames on Saturday, beating Iowa State, 24-19, to move to 6-3 overall.
Now, Dillingham’s team enters a bye week with a shot at getting fresh ahead of the final three games of the season, with home contests against West Virginia (Nov. 15) and Arizona (Nov. 28), offset by a final road trip to Boulder to play Colorado (on Nov. 22(.
BetArizona.com, as part of our Arizona sports betting coverage, has updated our running Sun Devils’ postseason odds.

After Saturday’s road win over Iowa State, it seems like ASU’s postseason is bound to wind up in the Lone Star State, with the leading contenders to land Kenny Dillingham’s team being El Paso’s Tony The Tiger Sun Bowl (+100) and the Valero Alamo Bowl in San Antonio (+400), with no other contest having solid odds of hosting the Devils this year.
Outside of the Sun and Alamo bowls, keep an eye on ASU bowl game longshots like the SRS Distribution Las Vegas Bowl (+1000) and hometown Rate Bowl in Phoenix (+1750) as potential landing spots, while the DirecTV Holiday Bowl in San Diego checks in at +2500.
For now, what seems far more likely is for ASU to make the team’s return to El Paso as the most likely spot for the Sun Devils this bowl season, barring a late season slide that drops them down a peg or two by the time the regular season wraps up in a few weeks.

Arizona State Bowl History Since 2017
Year | Bowl | Result |
2024 | CFP Quarterfinals (Peach Bowl) | Loss, 39-31 vs. Texas |
2021 | Las Vegas Bowl | Loss, 20-13 vs. Wisconsin |
2019 | Sun Bowl | Win, 20-14 vs. Florida State |
2018 | Las Vegas Bowl | Loss, 31-20 vs. Fresno State |

Looking at ASU’s postseason history, the Sun Devils have been frequent visitors to El Paso, Las Vegas and San Diego. The program’s most recent trip to Phoenix’s other bowl game besides the Fiesta Bowl was in 2015, when then head coach Todd Graham finished off a 6-7 campaign with a 43-42 loss to West Virginia in what was called the Cactus Bowl at the time.
The Devils’ last trip to El Paso was when Herm Edwards was the team’s coach in 2019, with ASU beating Florida State, 20-14. The Sun Devils played in the 2021 Las Vegas Bowl, falling to Wisconsin, 20-13. Looking back, the Tempe university’s last trip across Interstate 8 to San Diego was in 2013 when ASU lost to Texas Tech, 37-23, capping a 10-4 season on a sour note.
Sun Devils fans don’t have to turn back the clock nearly as far to find the school’s one and only appearance in the CFP, with ASU falling to Texas in last year’s Peach Bowl (which was a CFP quarterfinal site), 39-31, finishing off an 11-3 campaign in Tempe.
