With Week 14 of the NFL season beginning on Thursday, the San Diego Chargers, Denver Broncos and Philadelphia Eagles will host top-priced games at home against the Patriots, Bills and Seahawks. In the thick of the playoff hunt, all three teams find themselves in competitive divisions and both the Broncos and Eagles will look to extend their first-place lead in the AFC West and NFC East. Alongside the three most expensive hosting teams this week are also the Raiders and Bengals, who welcome the 49ers and Steelers to their home field this Sunday.
New England Patriots at San Diego Chargers | Avg. Price: $456.77 | Get-in: $246
After suffering just their second loss of the season to the Packers over the weekend, the New England Patriots next head to Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego to take on the streaking Chargers this Sunday. The average price for Chargers vs Patriots tickets is $456.77 and the get-in price starts at $246 on the secondary market. The Chargers have put together three consecutive wins following their win over the Ravens last weekend and they’ll look to expose the Patriots at home in the hope of gaining ground of the first place Broncos in the AFC West.
Buffalo Bills at Denver Broncos | Avg. Price: $372.39 | Get-in: $111
With the Chargers gaining momentum and trailing closely behind in the AFC West, the Broncos will need to cement a win over the Bills at home this week if they hope to retain first place. The average secondary price for Broncos vs Bills tickets is $372.39 and owns a current get-in price of $111. The Bills will look to close the gap in the AFC East, where the Patriots hold a commanding two-game lead. While a win may keep them in the hunt atop the division, it would certainly better their Wild Card chances in the AFC over the final four weeks of the season.
Seattle Seahawks at Philadelphia Eagles | Avg. Price: $283.58 | Get-in: $133
After decimating the Cowboys in Arlington on Thanksgiving Day, the Eagles head home to take on the defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks this Sunday. The average price for Eagles vs Seahawks tickets is $283.58. Get-in price for the game starts at $133. At 9-3, the Eagles have been a divisional powerhouse and have found success under second-string quarterback Mark Sanchez, who will appear to hold the reigns under center for the duration of the season. The Seahawks have wavered slightly this season and hold an 8-4 record heading to Lincoln Financial Field this weekend. They’ll hope to slim the Cardinals’ lead in the NFC West following their trip to Philly this weekend.
San Francisco 49ers at Oakland Raiders | Avg. Price: $278.51 | Get-in: $116
Despite owning the worst record in the NFL at 1-10 and barely showing up to their game against the Rams over the weekend, the Raiders make this week’s top-priced games list when they host the 49ers at O. co Coliseum. The average price for Raiders vs 49ers tickets is $278.51 on the secondary market and get-in price starts at $116. Oakland heads home following a 52-0 loss to the Rams last Sunday and will take on a streaky 49ers team who sits at 7-5 on the season. The 49ers still have their hopes set on catching the first place Cardinals in the NFC West, though a Wild Card spot in the conference may seem more realistic over the season’s last four weeks.
Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals | Avg. Price: $233.18 | Get-in: $55
Rounding off this week’s top-priced games list is a matchup between the Steelers and Bengals in Cincinnati. The average secondary price for Bengals vs Steelers tickets is $233.18 and get-in price is $55. The Bengals sit atop the AFC North at 8-3 and have won three straight games. They’ll face strict competition in the Steelers, however, as a Pittsburgh win in the divisional matchup could disrupt the Bengals’ chances of running away with first-place honors in the AFC North down the stretch.
