There are 6 "seeds", or seats, for each of the 2 conferences 4 divisions (north, south, east, west) for each of the 2 conferences. The first 4 seeds are the teams in first place for each division. The other 2 seeds (to make up the 6) are the wildcards. They are the next to teams with the best records regardless of their divisions. They could both even be from the same division which would mean that as many as 3 teams from 1 division could make the playoffs. And it could mean that a wildcard team could have a better record than 1 of the first 4 division leaders. For example, if the winner of the north has a 10-6 record and the second place team in the east is 11-5, the team with the 10-6 record has the higher seed because they lead their division.

This is best answered in opposition to your question i.e. How do teams qualify for the playoffs? The 8 division winners and 2 wild card teams from each conference. Wild card teams are determined by the best overall winning percentage from the remaining (non division winning) teams.

a wild card team is the 2 teams that are below the top 4 best teams. they do not have a grantee positions in the playoffs tho. so when a team is a wild card there stats for wins and loses are lower then the top four but higher then the rest of the teams.
In its current structure, the NFL has 4 Wild Card (non-division winners) teams advance to the Playoffs each year, 2 from the NFC, and 2 from the AFC.
