There arenāt a lot of teams in college football that are playing better than the Arizona State Sun Devils are right now under second year head coach Kenny Dillingham, with the Tempe-based program sitting at 8-2 for the year after upsetting Kansas State, 24-14, in Manhattan.
In Saturdayās 10-point, wire-to-wire win over the 16th ranked Wildcats, ASU managed to survive on the road despite being outgained by 14 yards, thanks to forcing three K-State turnovers and the passing exploits of quarterback Sam Leavitt.
The Michigan State transfer finished the night with 275 yards and three scores against the Wildcatsā stout secondary, connecting 12 times with wideout Jordyn Tyson to pace ASUās offense in their road upset, while keeping the Devilsā slim Big 12 title game hopes alive with two games to play.
That road begins in earnest Saturday, when ASU hosts BYU at 1:30 p.m. local time on ESPN, with oddsmakers from bet365 Arizona currently giving the Devils -170 odds of beating the Cougars to improve to 9-2 for the year.
Before the Devils take the field in Tempe, BetArizona.com broke down the latest bowl game odds for ASU, with potential stops in San Diego, Las Vegas and El Paso for Dillingham and company this bowl season.
Bowl | Odds | Percentage Chance |
DirecTV Holiday Bowl | +100 | 50% |
SRS Distribution Las Vegas Bowl | +300 | 25% |
Tony The Tiger Sun Bowl | +570 | 15% |

Odds provided by BetArizona and not available on Arizona betting apps.
Our top pick to land ASU this bowl season is San Diegoās DirecTV Holiday Bowl, which clocks in at +100 to land the Devils for the first time since 2013 in 2024, while the SRS Distribution Las Vegas Bowl (+300) and Tony The Tiger Sun Bowl (+570) are the other options this week.
The Devils last played in Americaās Finest City in 2013, when they lost to Texas Tech (37-23) to cap off a 10-4 season under then-head coach Todd Graham, while ASUās last trip up US-93 to Las Vegas came in 2021 under Herm Edwardsā watch, when the Devils lost to Wisconsin, 20-13, to cap off an 8-5 campaign.
Arizona Stateās last trek east across I-10 to El Paso came in 2019, when Edwards and company beat Florida State, 20-14, finishing off another 8-5 season in Tempe.
