Many Americans will likely shop or place online orders this Black Friday. But National Football League fans will give thanks that there is another <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/black-friday">football game to watch</a>.
What Happened: Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) looking to cash in on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/thursday-night-football">extra viewership</a> for the second straight year when Prime Video airs a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/nfl">Black Friday NFL game</a>.
On Friday, the Las Vegas Raiders (2-9) take on the Kansas City Chiefs (10-1) in Kansas City. The game streams exclusively on Prime Video.
While the teams don't have similar records and the game has the largest spread for an expected dominant performance for the Chiefs, Amazon hopes viewers will tune in.
Sportsbook DraftKings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>) lists the betting spread as the Chiefs favored by 13.5 points. Of the NFL's Week 13 matchups, that&#8217;s the biggest spread. The Chiefs are 10-1 on the season as one of the top teams, but have been winning games close.
The Chiefs are 5-6 against the spread on the season, meaning they win games, but not by the margins expected by sportsbooks. Earlier this season, the Chiefs beat the Raiders 27-20.
Amazon is the exclusive home of "Thursday Night Football" games and viewership for the 2024 season is averaging 13.3 million for those contests, up 8% year-over-year, as reported by <a href="https://www.sportico.com/business/media/2024/nfl-amazon-black-friday-commericial-ad-cost-1234817640/">Sportico</a>.
Last year's Black Friday NFL game saw the Miami Dolphins defeat the New York Jets 34-13 with an average of 9.61 million people watching, less than the average for "Thursday Night Football" games at the time.
Items helping Amazon could be a minimal slate of sports content early Friday with the game set to kickoff at 3 p.m. ET and the fact that the Chiefs are in the game.
The Chiefs are America's most watched team in 2024 with eight national TV games averaging 24.2 million viewers this season.
While no NFL team has won three consecutive Super Bowls, the Chiefs are looking to be the first and have been among the top favored teams at sportsbooks. Back in February, the Chiefs ranked second in Super Bowl LIX odds at +650. The Chiefs moved to first throughout the 2024 season, but now rank second at +475 to the Detroit Lions (+260) who now hold an NFL best 11-1 record the Chiefs will hope to tie Friday.

Why It Matters: Amazon could gain subscribers for Prime or the standalone Prime Video streaming platform membership.
Amazon is also set to get a boost to its advertising revenue thanks to the strong demand for live sports content. Amazon charged up to $750,000 per 30-second advertisement. The company averaged $565,000 for its ad rates, which among NFL coverage trails only "Sunday Night Football" on NBC and "Monday Night Football" on ESPN averages of $1 million and $665,000 respectively.
The e-commerce giant sold out of advertising inventory months ago and saw strong demand from newcomers who didn't advertise in last year's game and haven't advertised in this season's "Thursday Night Football" games.
Amazon has commanded a younger audience for its NFL games with an average age of 48.4 compared to a national average of 55.4 and a broadcast average of 63.0.
Advertisers and Amazon will be hoping that trends from last year continue. In last year's Black Friday game, viewers were 78% more likely to search for brands they saw advertise during the NFL game.
This could be good news for advertisers who include Ralph Lauren, Google Pixel, Uber Eats, Solo Stove and Microsoft, as reported by <a href="https://www.adweek.com/convergent-tv/brands-amazon-black-friday-nfl-game/">AdWeek</a>. 
QR codes shown during last year's Black Friday game had 350% higher engagement than during other NFL games.
Leading the way with QR codes will likely be Amazon itself who with the rights to the game can control how many ad spots they get and how often they put their own QR codes on screen hoping to take advantage of the viewers while non-sports fans are also shopping on the e-commerce site throughout the weekend.
Price Action: Amazon stock trades at $205.61 on Friday versus a 52-week trading range of $142.81 to $215.90. Amazon stock is up 37% year-to-date in 2024.

Black Friday NFL Game Preview: Kansas City Chiefs Continue Path To Super Bowl Three-Peat, Amazon Looks For Holiday Sales Boost

Brazil has made a landmark move in the cannabis sector. In a pivotal decision, the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) ruled in favor of cultivating, processing and selling industrial hemp for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/medical-cannabis">medical and pharmaceutical uses</a>. This ruling opens the door to significant new opportunities for both domestic and international stakeholders in the global <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis">cannabis market</a>.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Legal Battle Paves The Way</h3>
The ruling stems from a legal challenge presented by a company seeking to import hemp seeds and cultivate them for medical purposes. The company faced resistance from Brazil's national health regulatory agency, ANVISA, due to the country's strict cannabis laws. As <a href="https://hemptoday.net/court-backs-medical-cbd-production-in-brazil-but-bypasses-industrial-applications/">reported</a> by Hemp Today, this legal battle played a crucial role in bringing the issue to the forefront of Brazil's legislative agenda.
While the ruling is a significant victory for the medical cannabis community, Justice Regina Helena Costa emphasized that the court&#8217;s decision was limited to health-related applications. "The examination of the controversy should be limited to the feasibility of importing hemp seeds and subsequent cultivation to meet demands involving the right to health," she noted, underlining the narrow focus of the case.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Booming Market</h3>
Brazil, with a population of more than 200 million and an increasingly favorable attitude toward cannabis-based treatments, stands to become a major player in the global medical cannabis industry. Industry experts estimate that the medical cannabis market in Brazil <a href="https://www.statista.com/outlook/hmo/cannabis/medical-cannabis/brazil">will reach $185 million</a> this year, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cbd">CBD products</a> dominating the landscape. These products are favored for their broader applications and the fact that they are subject to less stringent regulatory restrictions compared to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/thc">THC</a>.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Key Takeaways From The Ruling</h3>
The STJ's ruling clarifies an important legal distinction: industrial hemp, defined as cannabis with a THC content below 0.3%, is not classified as a controlled substance. This means that hemp can now be legally cultivated and sold for medical and pharmaceutical uses, but cannot be used for any other purpose, ensuring the focus remains on health-related applications.
However, the ruling did not address the full spectrum of potential uses for industrial hemp, such as in textiles, construction materials and biofuels. The decision primarily addressed the medical cannabis aspect, and the Brazilian government remains in control of all cannabis regulations, including those for industrial hemp.
Moving forward, ANVISA will need to align its regulations with the Narcotics Act to allow for the importation of hemp seeds and to regulate hemp cultivation. Additionally, the government is tasked with developing safeguards to prevent misuse and maintain the safety and integrity of the emerging hemp industry.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Industry Reactions And Future Prospects</h3>
The ruling has sparked a range of reactions within the cannabis industry. Lorenzo Rolim da Silva, president of the Latin American Industrial Hemp Association, expressed cautious optimism. "It was a historical moment for the Brazilian regulatory landscape for sure, but it wasn't all we hoped for," Rolim da Silva remarked.
Despite these reservations, the ruling sets a strong precedent for future regulatory developments. Many in the industry view it as a stepping stone toward broader legalization of industrial hemp, which could eventually unlock its potential in multiple sectors, from pharmaceuticals to construction.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Road Ahead</h3>
The Brazilian government now has a six-month window to establish a comprehensive regulatory framework for industrial hemp. This framework will be crucial in determining the future of hemp cultivation in the country, addressing key issues such as licensing, product standards, and market access.

Canadian Cannabis Co. Entourage Health Shares Spike On 8% YoY Q3 Revenue Growth, Reduced Losses

A new Senate <a href="https://www.hsgac.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024.11.25-Majority-Staff-Report-The-Skys-the-Limit-The-Rise-of-Junk-Fees-in-American-Travel-1.pdf">report</a> has shed light on just how much money airlines are making off add-ons like seat and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39288640/southwest-airlines-free-bag-policy-under-pressure-after-elliotts-1-9b-stake">baggage fees</a>. And it&#8217;s a lot: $12.4 billion from seat selection fees alone between 2018 and 2023. And now, lawmakers and the Biden administration are saying enough is enough.
Sen.<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36323074/tesla-executive-says-senator-blumenthals-autopilot-claims-misinformed-invites-meeting-with-safety-te"> Richard Blumenthal</a>, who chairs the Senate&#8217;s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, recently revealed the findings. Blumenthal said that airlines have been exploiting passengers with what he calls &#8220;junk fees,&#8221; like extra charges for picking your seat – whether it's just for a standard aisle or window spot or the more spacious, extra legroom seats.&nbsp;
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?</li>
<li>It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $70 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a></li>
</ul>
These fees have become a huge source of income for big airlines like American, Delta, United, Frontier and Spirit, bringing in billions. At the same time, passengers deal with higher prices and a more confusing booking experience.
Seat fees increased substantially over the five years. Per the report, Frontier Airlines, for example, raised the price of its most expensive extra legroom seat from $50 in 2018 to $141 in 2023. Spirit Airlines similarly escalated its maximum seat fee for extra legroom from $71 in 2018 to $299 in 2023. Spirit&#8217;s Big Front Seats, the airline&#8217;s most premium seating option, saw an even bigger rise, going from $140 to $899 over the same time frame.
Blumenthal argues that these charges aren't tied to any real cost to the airline. The report found that the airlines couldn't clearly show what it costs them to offer seat assignments. This suggests that the prices aren&#8217;t based on the service provided but are another way to bump up revenues. And if you&#8217;ve ever booked a flight and faced charges just to make sure you sit next to your kid, you know how frustrating it can be.

The Biden administration also addresses these fees, which they see as unfair burdens on travelers. As part of his larger campaign against &#8220;junk fees&#8221; in various sectors, including banks, hotels and other services that tack on additional fees, President Biden has spoken out against these charges. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/08/40112052/family-friendly-skies-proposal-aims-to-end-airline-seating-fees-for-parents-with-kids">Families shouldn&#8217;t have to pay more</a> just to sit together, so the administration wants to make flying easier.
The Senate&#8217;s investigation also highlighted other questionable practices. For example, airlines like Frontier and Spirit have been paying gate agents to enforce baggage rules strictly, leading to passengers being charged extra for their bags and sometimes even missing flights because of it. Between 2022 and 2023 alone, these gate agents received around $26 million in commissions for catching passengers out on baggage size, according to the Majority Report.

Airline executives from the major carriers are set to testify at a Senate hearing on Dec. 4 to answer for these practices. The hearing, &#8220;The Sky&#8217;s the Limit – New Revelations About Airline Fees,&#8221; is anticipated to probe the reasons behind the exorbitant prices and whether there is any real basis for them.
The airlines, of course, have defended their actions. As CNBC reports, Airlines for America, a trade group representing the biggest U.S. carriers, pushed back, saying that the Senate report doesn't &#8220;understand the value the highly competitive U.S. airline industry brings to customers and employees.&#8221; They also claim that today&#8217;s more competitive pricing structure makes flying more affordable. However, critics point out that the complexity and rising costs of add-ons like seat fees often make trips <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/40030510/us-appeals-court-halts-bidens-airline-fee-disclosure-rule-saying-it-will-irreparably-harm-carrie">more expensive than they initially appear</a> when you first see the ticket price.

<h3>About ASML Holding</h3>
ASML is the leader in photolithography systems used in the manufacturing of semiconductors. Photolithography is the process in which a light source is used to expose circuit patterns from a photo mask onto a semiconductor wafer. The latest technological advances in this segment allow chipmakers to continually increase the number of transistors on the same area of silicon, with lithography historically representing a high portion of the cost of making cutting-edge chips. ASML outsources the manufacturing of most of its parts, acting like an assembler. ASML's main clients are TSMC, Samsung, and Intel.
