LAS VEGAS, Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — A historic explosion of NFL offense so far this year has oddsmakers dreaming of big points again in Week 7, according to analysts for TheLines, which tracks odds in the U.S. regulated sports betting markets.

A consensus of the nation’s largest legal online sportsbooks — including FanDuel, DraftKings, PointsBet, SugarHouse, and BetMGM — shows that six of the 10 Week 7 games that are already on the board feature over/under lines of 52.5 points or more. And with the Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 7 game against the Denver Broncos among those games not yet on the board — as oddsmakers await the results of Monday night’s showdown with the Buffalo Bills — there will almost certainly be at least one more such game added.

Compare that to Week 1, when just one game featured an over/under of more than 50 points. Offenses have taken over 2020, with teams averaging 25.4 points per game so far this year, up from 22.8 points per game in 2020 and on pace for a single-season record. In week 6, 7 of 14 games featured games with over/under lines of more than 50 points and the offenses delivered. Eight teams scored at least 30 points on Sunday, including both the Tennessee Titans and Houston Texans, who combined for 78 points in their wild game.

In Week 7, the Detroit Lions and Atlanta Falcons — who beat the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday 40-23 — feature an over/under line of 56.5. The Texans and Green Bay Packers, who were disappointing in their 38-10 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, boast an over/under of 56.

«NFL offenses have dominated so far in a way that we haven’t seen before and oddsmakers are building that into their lines,» said Brett Collson, lead analyst for TheLines.com. «However, there is no certainty that historic run of points will continue for the remainder of the year, and we’re still working with a relatively small sample size. NFL defenses can and often do adjust.»

The consensus point spreads for Week 7 games, as of Monday, Oct. 19:

• New York Giants at Philadelphia Eagles (-6); over/under 45
• Buffalo Bills (-10.5) at New York Jets; over/under N/A
• Carolina Panthers at New Orleans Saints (-7.5); over/under 51
• Cleveland Browns (-3.5) at Cincinnati Bengals; over/under 52
• Dallas Cowboys (-3.5) at Washington Football Team; over/under N/A
• Detroit Lions at Atlanta Falcons (-3); over/under 56.5
• Green Bay Packers (-3) at Houston Texans; over/under 56
• Pittsburgh Steelers (-1.5) at Tennessee Titans; over/under 52.5
• Seattle Seahawks (-3.5) at Arizona Cardinals; over/under N/A
• Jacksonville Jaguars at Los Angeles Chargers (-8); over/under 49
• Kansas City (-9.5) at Denver Broncos; over/under N/A
• San Francisco 49ers at New England Patriots (-3.5); over/under 45.5
• Tampa Bay (-2.5) vs. Las Vegas Raiders; over/under 53.5
• Chicago Bears at Los Angeles Rams (-6.5); over/under 46

Thrill-seekers and fans of the major motion picture franchises John Wick and Now You See Me, will be able to experience two record breaking new rides in early 2021. MOTIONGATE™ Dubai becomes home to the first ever theme park rollercoaster inspired by the global hit action franchise John Wick, whose first three installments have grossed nearly $600 million at the worldwide box office. The Lionsgate Zone will also introduce the world’s fastest single-car spinning coaster based on the popular twists and turns of heist thriller franchise Now You See Me. The launch of these two world first coasters will earn MOTIONGATE™ Dubai the impressive record for the maximum number of rollercoasters in a single theme park in the Middle East. 

«This exciting expansion makes the Lionsgate Zone at Motiongate Dubai the epicenter of immersive blockbuster thrills in the region» said EVP and Head of Lionsgate Global Live, Interactive and Location Based Entertainment, Jenefer Brown.  «For the first time ever, it will offer fans the opportunity to experience the poetic action of John Wick and masterful misdirection of Now You See Me through exhilarating coaster experiences

Set over a 310-meter track, and reaching speeds of up to 64km per hour, John Wick: Open Contract will deliver up to 2.8 G-force from the 4D free spin coaster. Inspired by the events of the recent films, after stepping inside The Continental, guests will embark on a journey that simulates the epic action of the John Wick world as the coaster races down a 4D track that provides both forward and backward, freestyle spins. 

Reaching speeds of up to 70 km per hour, riders of Now You See Me: High Roller will feel like they are part of a daring Horsemen escape as they race to expose the antics of a criminal mastermind. Riders won’t find a more intense coaster experience anywhere due to its drops, non-inverted loops, and Immelmann turn sections which will see riders make a full 180-degree turn after entering a thrilling half-loop section of the track, followed by a half twist.

FRANKLIN, Tenn., Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) and Team Record the Journey (RTJ) made history for the second year in a row at the 2020 Rebelle Rally. After powering the event’s first adaptive athlete to second place in 2019, MMNA and RTJ this year combined to claim another podium finish, this time in the Rebelle’s first ever plug-in hybrid electric vehicle entry, a 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV.

RTJ founder and navigator Sergeant Major Rachael Ridenour (Ret.) was joined by teammate and driver, Master Sergeant Kristie Levy (Ret.) – both U.S. Army veterans with multiple combat deployments – to compete in this year’s Rebelle. Their Outlander PHEV, affectionately nicknamed «Electra,» was put through her paces over 10 grueling days and more than 2,000 kilometers across the Nevada and California deserts, accumulating 1,034 points in the X-Cross class of the all-women’s navigational challenge.

«Electra served faithfully and reliably, impressing us with her versatility, capability and grit, not to mention her ability to travel on smooth, quiet electric power,» said Ridenour, a multi-time Rebelle and past event winner. «Just completing the Rebelle is an accomplishment, and doing it in an electrified vehicle was a bit of an experiment, but the Outlander PHEV proved more than up to the task. She was a reliable partner in extreme circumstances – and being able to make coffee using the 110-volt outlet in the back was a luxurious taste of civilization in the middle of the desert.»

The Rebelle Rally is the first all-women’s off-highway navigational rally raid in the U.S. and the longest competition of its kind in the lower 48 states. For the first time, in 2020, event organizer Emily Miller opened the competition to electric vehicles, adding an Electrified designation to both the 4×4 class and X-Cross, to honor the highest finishing Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) and Hybrid or Plug-in-hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) in each class.

«We’ve had two very successful years of partnership between Mitsubishi Motors and Record the Journey at the Rebelle Rally, and we couldn’t be more proud of the outcome,» said MMNA Chief Operating Officer Mark Chaffin. «Together, we’ve tested the capability of our vehicles and raised awareness of the life-changing work that RTJ does every day. It is a true honor to help promote and support our returning servicewomen and men.»

«This year’s Rebelle was filled with an inspiring crew of fierce, independent women who continue to amaze us with their strength, fortitude and endurance to complete one of the toughest rally raids in the world,» said Miller, Founder of the Rebelle Rally. «We are so happy for Team Record the Journey and their Outlander PHEV for earning a podium finish in the first year of electrified competition, and look forward to another amazing performance in 2021.»

RTJ is dedicated to assisting military veterans with a successful transition back into civilian life. The nonprofit utilizes outdoor photography adventures to help veterans process their military experiences, including combat, injury and loss. Photography allows expression and engagement without words, making an often difficult process a little easier. RTJ was the first nonprofit to receive a loan of a Community Utility Vehicle through MMNA’s «Small Batch – Big Impact» corporate social responsibility initiative. For more information on the Small Batch – Big Impact initiative and MMNA’s CUV program, visit www.mitsubishicars.com/community.

TEL AVIV, Israel, Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Foretellix today announced its new ALKS verification package, the world’s first commercial solution for the newly announced Automatic Lane-Keeping System (ALKS) regulation. The new package includes support of Mobileye Responsibility-Sensitive Safety (RSS) following a successful joint demonstration of ALKS safety regulation and compliance flow. The new verification package will help automakers address the regulatory and certification requirements of ALKS automated driving systems. 

Foretellix has recently released its novel ADAS & Highway solution that provides an out-of-the-box, comprehensive verification package from Level 2 driver-assist technologies to Level 4 highway-focused, fully autonomous solutions. With the introduction of the new package, the solution now includes the first-ever commercial implementation of new ALKS regulation by the UNECE, the world’s first Level 3 regulation.

In a joint demonstration with Mobileye, the ALKS verification package generated the required regulation scenarios and parameters and provided measurable metrics on the RSS controlled vehicle behavior. The package used Mobileye’s RSS model to ensure that the tested vehicle does not initiate dangerous situations and properly responds to dangerous situations initiated by other vehicles. These scenarios were varied over a wide range of parameter values, demonstrating that safety as well as regulatory requirements are met.

«We are excited to show how our Coverage Driven verification approach, combined with Mobileye’s RSS, helps bring the industry closer to the goal of measurable safety,» said Gil Amid, Chief Regulatory Affairs Officer and Foretellix co-founder.

«Regulators will require proof of a vehicle’s ability to avoid reasonably foreseeable and preventable collisions,» said Jack Weast, Vice President of AV standards at Mobileye. «The Foretellix Foretify approach using RSS gives OEMs a way to demonstrate compliance with the most advanced automated driving regulation in the world.» 

About Foretellix 
Foretellix is enabling the Digital Transformation of safety-critical automotive verification. Foretellix solutions uniquely scale to meet the challenge of verifying the safety of today’s increasingly complex driving systems. Foretellix was founded by a team of pioneers in measurable verification and validation combined with a highly automated and proven Coverage Driven Verification methodology broadly adopted in the semiconductor industry.
