I am working.
I've sold one ticket to a friend at face value. The other is posted on NFL Ticket Exchange for a medium-sized premium. If it doesn't sell by the morning, Mom will go with the friend. I hope it sells because she is not good with cold and rainy.
The only way it works out we can host another game is if we win out and Detroit wins out. That game I would try to attend, but it seems unlikely both teams could do that.

Does NFL Ticket Exchange allow a sliding price? That's one feature I liked about StubHub. You could set a starting price (high) and a final price (minimum you'd accept) and the price would decrease over time as gametime approached. That way, you had a shot at the bigger spenders who wanted to guarantee their admission by buying early and another shot at the last-minute treasure hunters.

They have three ways to do it:
fixed price, which you can change
sliding price, where you set a starting and ending point
market price, where they adjust it based on what seats in the section are going for that day
This time, I listed it at a crazy price until today, then I lowered it by hand. The face value is $100 and I set it at $300 just to see what would happen. Today I set it to $150. I put it at 50/50 that it will sell before it comes off the site at 3 a.m. I think there are ticket brokers who know about the 3 a.m. rule and swoop in just before then - I've had 2-3 tickets sell after midnight before that deadline.
I love having this option we never had before (might have started last season). I can legally sell a ticket for whatever someone is willing to pay. In N.C., that's legal because if anything goes wrong, the buyer has a credit trail and can get their money back. In person, if you get sold a bad ticket, you are just stuck with no recourse, so the law here is $3 over face value.
