Thursday Night Football kicks off Week 8 with an AFC-NFC clash between the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium. Bet365 has posted fresh touchdown scorer markets ahead of kickoff, including Jordan Mason to score the first touchdown at +550, highlighting one of Minnesota’s most intriguing value props.
Jordan Mason enters Thursday’s matchup as one of Minnesota’s most efficient red-zone weapons, averaging 4.9 yards per carry over his last three outings. Dimers’ predictive model gives him a 10.0% probability to score first, making him a legitimate contender to open the scoring at SoFi Stadium.
At +550 odds, a successful $10 wager on Mason to find the end zone first would return $65 total, offering strong value in a game where both teams lean heavily on the run early.

Dimers’ 10,000-simulation model gives the Chargers a 63% chance to win, while both sides have an equal 50% probability to cover the spread. The total (44.5) also projects as a near 50-50 split, reflecting expectations of a close, methodical game script.
Minnesota’s run-first tendencies and the Chargers’ struggles against the ground game could help Mason’s first touchdown prop cash early in the contest.
Dimers’ top pick for this matchup is Chargers -3.5 (-102), but Jordan Mason to score first (+550) on Bet365 stands out as an alternate high-upside angle.
If Minnesota’s offense finds rhythm early, Mason’s short-yardage usage gives him one of the best touchdown profiles of any non-quarterback in Thursday’s game.
Dimers’ projected final score: Chargers 24, Vikings 20.
The projection points to a competitive matchup with moderate scoring, increasing the appeal of early touchdown props such as Mason’s.
