The Los Angeles Chargers and Oakland Raiders square off in a few hours on Thursday Night Football, in what should be a fun kickoff to the Week 10 schedule. The Kansas City Chiefs lead the AFC West, but the Chargers and Raiders both remain in the thick of the wild card race. Both teams badly need this win to maintain their spot in the playoff race.
The Raiders will be relying heavily on running back Josh Jacobs, who is on a roll lately, rushing for 120+ yards three of his past four games, and scoring two touchdowns apiece in two of those games. It is not surprising that people think he’ll find pay dirt tonight. DraftKings Sportsbook offers prop bets on a variety of player results, and that includes first to score a touchdown. Jacobs scoring the first touchdown of the game is the top player prop bet for both handle and tickets bet.
Chargers running back Melvin Gordon for first touchdown is third in handle and second in tickets bet. He’s coming off a two-touchdown performance in Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers, and bettors likely see him building on his momentum.
Here’s a rundown of the top five player prop bets at DraftKings Sportsbook.
By handle
- Josh Jacobs first TD scorer (+600)
- Desmond King under 0.5 sacks (-560)
- Melvin Gordon first TD scorer (+700)
- Hunter Henry over 63.5 receiving yards (-125)
- Philip Rivers over 1.5 RD passes (-157)
By tickets
- Josh Jacobs first TD scorer (+600)

- Austin Ekeler first TD scorer (+1100)
