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.

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.

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.

Lewis is 5’8″ tall and weighs 150 pounds.

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.
