National games are a blessing of being a Patriots fan (although for how long now?).
That also means my DirecTV set up costs me $150 per game to watch.
My friends are all Lions fans. This year they have zero night games and one 4PM game. The only game broadcasting where we live will be Thanksgiving.
Even if 10 games are on national TV, the ST MAX package would cost $400/6 games = $66.66 per game.
Not sure where you are getting your $150-a-game figure from.
In addition, you need an antenna to see NBC, CBS, and FOX for free. Then you need the NFL Network/Amazon Prime Video to see TNF. Both do not come cheaply....at least $10/month for PRIME and NFLN is always on a higher sports tier package. Oh, then you need access to ESPN too which usually comes with most basic streaming packages ranging from $25 to $65 a month.
I get DTV for $75/month with free ST MAX. And that $75 gives me network TV, ESPN, NFLN, and as well as AMC which isn't available on many streaming platforms.
