Oddsmakers don’t seem to think Wisconsin has much of a chance against Alabama.
The Crimson Tide are traveling to Madison for a Saturday showdown with the Badgers in what will be one of Wisconsin’s biggest non-conference games in program history.
Hype has already hit a deafening level. It’s all anyone in Wisconsin is talking about when it comes to college sports, and despite some fans behaving like absolute cowards, I feel like there’s always a chance whenever a team takes the field.
Oddsmakers feel a bit differently.
*I WILL BE AT THE WISCONSIN/ALABAMA GAME IN MADISON. REACH OUT AT David.Hookstead@OutKick.com IF YOU’RE ALSO ATTENDING.*
Alabama is a big favorite against Wisconsin.
As of publication, Alabama is a 15.5-point favorite at most sportsbooks on the road in Madison against the Badgers, and that’s simply an outrageous line.
What’s craziest part is the line was as low as -7.5 in favor of Alabama just a couple weeks ago. Now, after two games in the books, oddsmakers believe the Crimson Tide are going to show up in Madison and roll the Badgers.
Is it disrespectful? It certainly feels that way, but it’s also great bulletin board material. Nobody is giving little old Wisconsin a chance against Kalen DeBoer’s team.
Hell, many Wisconsin fans aren’t giving the Badgers a shot at all, which is beyond infuriating.
The reality of Wisconsin football is that the team hasn’t looked great through the first two games of the season, but the Badgers almost never get blown out at home.
Has it happened in the past? Yes, but it’s incredibly rare. Camp Randall is a house of horrors for opposing teams. It’s one of the toughest places to play in all of America.
The home field advantage is significant, and when the stadium is booming, it’s unbelievably loud. That’s the atmosphere the Crimson Tide are walking into, and I’m supposed to believe they’re going to win by 16 or more? I’m just not buying it.
Alabama being favored makes sense. They’re a much more talented team top to bottom, but they also just struggled with USF.
Throw in the fact there’s good reason to believe Wisconsin hasn’t shown much on offense in hopes of hiding it for Alabama and USC, and +15.5 seems like the play to me. Granted, I’m openly a Wisconsin man. I don’t hide it, but I also can’t get my brain to even imagine a blowout loss at home inside Camp Randall early in the season.

No matter what, I’m fired up and can’t wait to get to Madison for the game. The city is going to be on fire and rocking. Who are you taking? Let me know at David.Hookstead@OutKick.com.

Wisconsin’s Most Wanted: DaPrince Lewis
Investigators say a Kenosha teen who is barred from having any guns has been flaunting them on social media. U.S. Marshals are looking for the 19-year-old.
KENOSHA, Wis. – Investigators say a Kenosha teen who is barred from having any guns has been flaunting them on social media. U.S. Marshals are looking for the 19-year-old.
“He’s shown that he has a history and continues to possess weapons illegally,” the U.S. Marshal on the case said.
DaPrince Lewis has a regal name, but investigators say the only stately thing about the teen is how he royally messed up.
“He continues to possess these firearms and display them on social media for everyone to see,” the marshal said.
In June of this year, Kenosha police were investigating a fatal shooting when they came across Lewis for a different reason.

“During the course of their investigation, they determined that Lewis was in possession of a firearm that he shouldn’t have,” the investigator said.
Further investigation led police to the teen’s Instagram page where they say they found photos of Lewis with guns. The 19-year-old is barred from having any guns because of his criminal history.

“He does have prior convictions for discharge of a firearm from a vehicle and first degree recklessly endangering safety,” the marshal said.
The teen has ties to Kenosha, Racine and northern Illinois. Investigators say he is a known gang member with the name tattooed across his neck.
“I would strongly urge him to turn himself in so he could begin to get these matters behind him,” the marshal said.

Wisconsin has highest salmonella cases from outbreak linked to recalled eggs
![Wisconsin has highest salmonella cases from outbreak linked to recalled eggs Wisconsin has highest salmonella cases from outbreak linked to recalled eggs](https://ewscripps.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/83dd94c/2147483647/strip/true/crop/3961x2080+0+281/resize/1200x630!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fewscripps.brightspotcdn.com%2F45%2Fd7%2F3b68baed49208fc197372edb21dc%2Fap23017700409456.jpg)
MILWAUKEE — Wisconsin currently has about 42 cases of salmonella linked to recalled eggs from Milo’s Poultry Farm LLC. — the highest number of any of the affected states.
There were nine states affected by the outbreak, including Michigan, Illinois, California, Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota, Utah, Virginia and, of course, America’s Dairyland.
So far, 24 people have been hospitalized but no one has died, according to the Center of Disease Control.
Milo’s Poultry Farm in Bonduel Wisconsin supplied contaminated eggs to restaurants and stores in Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan. The eggs are labeled with Milo’s Poultry Farm or Tony’s Fresh Market and all the egg types and expiration dates are included in the recall.
The US Food and Drug Administration took samples from Milo’s Poultry and found salmonella in the packing facility and the hen egg laying house.
Recalled eggs should be thrown away and not eaten. If anyone touches the eggs, it is important for them to wash their hands with hot, soapy water, according to the CDC.
Look out for the symptoms of salmonella:
- Diarrhea
- Fever
- Stomach cramps (these can begin within hours or days of ingesting the bacteria)
Children who are five or younger and adults 65 and older or those with weakened immune systems could experience the symptoms more severely.
The majority of people with a salmonella infection recover in four to seven days without medical treatment, but if the symptoms are severe enough, hospitalization may be needed. It is important to drink plenty of fluids while the symptoms last.
Salmonella can be treated with antibiotics, but this outbreak could be hard to treat with the typical versions of the drugs. Lab testing showed this variation of salmonella is resistant to nalidixic acid and ciprofloxacin — the two more commonly recommended treatments.
It is important to use antibiotics only when needed and as they are prescribed to help prevent resistance to the drugs.
The infection causes about 1.35 million illnesses, about 26,500 hospitalizations and about 420 deaths in the US each year, according to the CDC.

Mellusi rushes for 2 TDs and Wisconsin beats South Dakota 27-13
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Chez Mellusi’s grandfather died on Friday, but he didn’t tell Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell until the conclusion of Saturday’s game.
By that point, Mellusi had delivered a performance that would have made his grandfather proud.
Mellusi rushed for two touchdowns, Tyler Van Dyke threw for another and Wisconsin beat South Dakota 27-13. Mellusi told a few people earlier this week – but not many – about his grandfather’s situation.
“I didn’t want any sympathy,” Mellusi said. “I need to do a better job letting my guys know what I’m going through. That’s on me.”
Van Dyke completed 17 of 27 passes for 214 yards and a touchdown for the Badgers (2-0). Mellusi had 16 carries for 60 yards and Cade Yacamelli rushed for a team-high 73 yards on eight attempts.
Mellusi said that he was close to Cesare Mellusi and took the situation hard. Mellusi’s father Mario Mellusi didn’t attend Saturday’s game.
“It’s life,” Chez Mellusi said. “I know what he would’ve wanted for me is to play the best version of myself. And I have to be better. Today, I did all right. I left some things on the field, for sure.”
Fickell said that this season, in particular, Mellusi’s impact has grown within the program.
“It’s the best I’ve seen him — as a leader, as a guy that can provide some energy and provide some spark,” Fickell said. “It’s a great reminder to us, especially us that understand this landscape of college football is changing, that even the older players can truly grow.”
Cade Yacamelli rushed for a team-high 73 yards on eight attempts.
Wisconsin raced to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter on a Mellusi 9-yard touchdown and a 50-yard scoring strike from Van Dyke to CJ Williams.
South Dakota (1-1) cut the lead to 17-13 in the third quarter but couldn’t get any closer.
Nathanial Vakos’ 50-yard field goal made it 20-13 late in the third period. Mellusi’s 1-yard touchdown run with 7:35 remaining put the game out of reach at 27-13.
Vakos also had a 24-yard field goal in the second period.
South Dakota’s Charles Pierre Jr. rushed for 83 yards on 12 carries and Aidan Bowman completed 12 of 23 passes for 114 yards. Keyondray James-Logan scored South Dakota’s lone touchdown with a 35-yard run early in the third quarter.
South Dakota creeped into contention in the third after a muffed punt by Wisconsin’s Vinny Anthony. But the Coyotes failed to get a touchdown and settled for Leyland’s 32-yard field goal to cut Wisconsin’s lead to 17-13.
South Dakota coach Bob Nielsen said that the Coyotes couldn’t keep up with the Badgers in the fourth quarter.
“We left a lot of points on the board,” Nielsen said. “And against a team like (Wisconsin), you can’t leave points on the board. They wore us, they leaned on us a little bit. We had one drive with the three penalties, and they did a good job of scoring late in the game to make it a two-score game.”
The takeaway
Wisconsin: The Badgers had four gains of at least 22 yards in the first half, an encouraging sign after they had no plays longer than 17 yards in their season-opening 28-14 victory over Western Michigan. The biggest plays were Williams’ 50-yard touchdown and a 32-yard catch by Anthony.
South Dakota: The Coyotes lost the game but made some big plays on defense and special teams. Nyle Dickel recovered a Wisconsin muffed punt in the third quarter. Mi’Quise Grace and Mosai Newsom got one sack each against Van Dyke.
