Welcome back to Fat Dog and The Cat, where we keep calm and let chaos make us money.
Today’s board is a buffet: La Liga goals, NFL hooks, and one home-dog masterpiece from Coach Tomlin himself.
⚽ Over 3.5 (-120) — Barcelona at Real Madrid
This isn’t football; it’s speed chess with pyrotechnics.
Six straight Clásicos hit 4+, and this one checks every volatility box.
Madrid’s offense is thriving, Barça’s back line is begging for punishment, and the weather’s perfect for an afternoon carnival of goals.
You don’t bet against chaos when chaos has data on its side.
🏈 Dallas Cowboys +3.5 (-110) at Denver Broncos
Denver’s rush meets Dak’s discipline.
The Cowboys’ offensive rhythm and quick-release scheme neutralize pressure like a judo move — redirect, not resist.
Add altitude fatigue and one or two late scoring swings, and the hook becomes a flotation device in a one-possession script.
We’re not betting heroics — we’re betting geometry.
🏈 Pittsburgh Steelers +3 (-110) vs Green Bay Packers
Tomlin’s teams live for games like this.
Ugly, low-margin, turnover-driven contests that make casual bettors yawn and sharp bettors smile.
Quick passing dulls Green Bay’s edge rush; red-zone efficiency and field position do the rest.
The Terrible Towels don’t panic, and neither do we.
There’s beauty in constraint.
Each of these games rewards patience — weather, tempo, and scheme converge to favor control over chaos.
That’s where the value lives.
That’s where the profit hides.
And that’s Fat Dog and The Cat.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
