Arizona State Football Bowl Projections: Odds For Sun Devils’ 2025-26 Bowl Game
Whatever hope Arizona State Sun Devils football fans had in making a return trip to the 12-team College Football Playoff was drastically dimmed along the Wasatch on Saturday. ASU got lit up by unranked Utah, 42-10, dropping the Sun Devils to 4-2 for the year and 2-1 in the Big 12.
BetArizona.com, as part of our Arizona sports betting coverage, has updated our running Sun Devils’ postseason odds.

A shot at redemption looms for the Sun Devils on Saturday in Tempe against Texas Tech (6-0, 3-0), which is ranked No. 7 in the Associated Press poll.
Coach Kenny Dillingham’s team has lost two of its three road games, against Mississippi State and Utah. That’s offset by home wins over Northern Arizona, Texas State and TCU, plus a victory at Baylor.
The CFP is all but off the table in Tempe, so it’s time to get real with these bowl projections. ASU’s most likely landing spot is the Las Vegas Bowl on New Year’s Eve, with +210 odds of the Sun Devils landing at Allegiant Stadium for the third time since 2018.
Folks using Arizona promo codes to sign up would have a pretty easy trip if Vegas is ASU’s bowl destination.
Outside of Sin City, keep an eye on another ASU postseason favorite, El Paso’s Sun Bowl (+240) and San Diego’s Holiday Bowl (+375) as the most likely postseason games for the Devils in 2025. Longshots to land the Devils include Phoenix’s Rate Bowl at +2400 and San Antonio’s Alamo Bowl at +3250.

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 |
2017 | Sun Bowl | Loss, 52-31 vs. NC 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.
At bet365 Arizona Sportsbook, as of Oct. 14, the Sun Devils have +600 odds to even reach the Big 12 title game this season. Texas Tech (-500) and Utah (+220) are the favorites to meet for the league championship and the automatic CFP berth that ASU earned last season.
