Best Answer

There are four teams from each league that make the playoffs. Each league is divided into three divisions. Each division winner gets an automatic bid to the playoffs. There is a fourth team from each league that makes the playoffs and this team is called the 'wildcard' team. The wildcard team is the team that has the best overall win loss record of those teams that did not win their division.
