Dave Doeren will never be considered “Mr. Excitement.” However, he has proven to be the stabilizing force that the North Carolina State Wolfpack football program has long sought. NC State has become a consistent bowl team under Doeren. By contrast, the Florida State Seminoles have suffered a stunning fall with college Football betting Games. Not that long ago the Seminoles were a national title contender under Jimbo Fisher. However, Fisher burned out and second-year head coach Willie Taggart was left holding the bag. Florida State has lost money for gamblers and fans in the stands.
