5. Arden Key

With 8 tackles, 4 solo, and 1.5 for loss; Arden Key was all over the place on Saturday in Tuscaloosa. He also hurried quarterback Jalen Hurts twice. These are impressive numbers for any players against Alabama’s vaunted offensive line, but Key’s presence was felt even more than that. The most positive thing to come out of the loss was Key finally proving he is the player scouts in the NFL are drooling over.

4. The Hangover

Dan Quinn and the Atlanta Falcons are now at the dreaded .500 mark, a good enough spot sure, but in the NFC South, good enough is not good enough. Quinn stressed that there would not be and there is no “Super Bowl hangover” for the defending NFC champs. The Falcons are like your buddy who brags about not getting hangovers and then the morning after his first college kegger he’s the one puking and holding everyone up from going to get pancakes. “Bro I can drink all night and be fine to do whatever in the morning! I am a machine bro!” He mixes drinks all night, starting with beer before liquor, next thing you know he’s waking up sleeping on the floor in a pool of barf with a Tiger in bathroom.

3. Jalen Ramsey

You know you are a baller when you are getting into A.J. Green’s head in the first half so badly that he goes absolutely insane and gets himself disqualified from the game for trying to punch you in the helmet. This might be the NFL’s best defensive back.

2. 3 New Champs

UFC 217 will go down as one of the all time fight nights in history as three challengers overtook three well regarded champions. Rose Namajunas did the impossible by defeating arguably the greatest women’s champion of all time. In a dead even fight, T.J. Dillashaw hitt the magic knockout blow after taking some big shots by Cody Garbrandt. And GSP proved he is one of the greatest ever by choking out the UFC’s toughest man and former Middleweight champ Michael Bisping. This sport is nuts and we wouldn’t have it any other way!

1. Alpha vs. Omega

January 4th in the Tokyo Dome will be the stage for Pro Wrestling’s biggest dream match of 2018 when Chris Jericho faces Kenny Omega at NJPW’s Wrestle Kingdom 12. WWE is where we all look for this type of event, but with the sport thriving worldwide, WWE should see it’s fare share of challenges in 2018.
