Best Answer

In the NFL wild card if two teams have the same record, and are tied for the last spot in the playoffs the tie can be broken primarily in two ways. The first way and most often way would be if the two teams had played each other previously the victor of that game has the advantage over the loser. The second way would be the comparisons of the strength of schedule, this occurs when both teams have not played. The strength of schedule refers to the combined overall records of all the opponents both teams played . For example if the teams Team A played have a combined record of 10 wins and 5 losses (keep in mind the actual record would be much higher) they have a strength of schedule of .667, but Team B has a strength of schedule of .500. This means that Team A has played a harder schedule therefore they are more deserving of a playoff berth, due to the harder schedule.

Who plays on wild-card weekend?

Four wild-card teams. "Wild Card Weekend" is actually kind of a misnomer, because only half of the teams participating are wild card teams. The other half are division champions. The NFL's playoff system sends four division champs and two wild card teams from each conference to the postseason every year. The division champs are seeded 1 through 4, and the wild cards are seeded 5 and 6. The #1 and #2 seeds are given a bye to the second round, and everyone else plays on "Wild Card Weekend" -- the #3 division champ hosts the #6 wild card, and the #4 division champ hosts the #5 wild card. In the second round, the #1 seed plays the lowest remaining seed from the first round, and the #2 seed plays the other surviving Round 1 team.
