The Wyoming Cowboys'and Arizona State Sun Devils open their seasons Saturday at Mountain America Stadium in Tempe. Kickoff is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s'lines around the Wyoming vs. Arizona State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
The Cowboys picked up 9 victories in the final year under legendary coach Craig Bohl. He elected to retire, but the program is in good hands under his hand-picked successor, former defensive coordinator Jay Sawvel.
And the former DC-turned-coach has 7 starters back on that side of the ball, including DL Jordan Bertagnole, DB Wyett Ekeler and LB Shae Suiaunoa. If the name sounds familiar, too, Ekeler is the half-brother of NFL star RB Austin Ekeler of the Washington Commanders.
Wyoming is breaking in a new QB Evan Svoboda'as he takes the reins from Andrew Peasley. That likely means, at least early on, there will be a heavy dose of RB Harrison Waylee, the top returning player on offense.
