Eight teams will square off in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs with the Super Bowl less than a month away and fans have flocked to the four stadiums hosting games this weekend.
But the most expensive tickets might be the most surprising.
Even with high-profile players like Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and Christian McCaffrey all playing, the highest average ticket prices are at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers game against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field.
Yes, people are willing to pay an average of $1,186 to watch Baker Mayfield take on Jared Goff in Detroit, Michigan, according to TickPick via Fox Sports.

The Lions have been one of the most-fun teams to watch this season, though, so these numbers make a little bit of sense when you think about the rise and popularity of one of the most downtrodden franchises in NFL history.
Detroit head coach Dan Campbell has put together a high-flying team with a ton of star power in what should be a highly-contested match.
And on the other side, former No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield is leading a super-talented Buccaneers offense on one of the most surprising runs of the year.
It helps, too, that the Lions are looking to make their first conference championship game since 1991.
But they’ll need to take down Mayfield and the Buccaneers before they can think that far ahead.
