Arizona State vs Wyoming Prediction, Game Preview, and Betting Lines

Wyoming starts over with new head coach Jay Sawvel stepping up and into the spot vacated by retired head man Craig Bohl - but everything else it expected to stay the same. Idaho and BYU have to make the trip to Laramie, so win this, and it might be a big start to the new era.

It’s Year Two for Kenny Dillingham at Arizona State, and everything is expected to be different; or, at least, better. With Mississippi State up next and the new Big 12 schedule looming, the team needs early wins.

The Wyoming defense should be a killer. There’s quickness, options, and everyone can tackle - the defensive backs can pop. As long as the score is kept in check, the Cowboys have a shot by controlling the tempo and field position. But …

Why Arizona State Will Win

Wyoming’s offense will once again be hit-or-miss. The passing game is about midrange plays, and the ground game is without star back Harrison Waylee after an offseason injury.

The line is okay, and it’ll have to deal with a revamped ASU defensive front with a bunch of help in from the transfer portal.

Yes, there’s still a question about whether or not ASU can score after failing to get to 24 points in five of the last six games, but …

Arizona State vs Wyoming: Who Will Win

It’s a fascinating late night game.

Wyoming is great at pulling off big wins and stunners, but in Laramie. It’ll bring the effort, but will that be enough?

At home, Arizona State will have the energy to go along with the improved starting 22. It might not always be easy or consistent for either side, but it’ll be entertaining for a full four quarters with the Sun Devils holding on late.
