The answer may depend on the sport and the association. Typically the first tie-breaker is head-to-head competition. Divisional record is usually next. There can be several other tie-breakers. All things being equal, it sometimes literally comes down to a coin toss.

In the NFL if two non-division champions teams with the same record and same division record are fighting the last spot of playoff what are the requirements?

If I understand your question correctly, you are asking what is the tiebreaker for determining the wild card teams in the NFL. There are a set series of steps the NFL goes through to break ties in the standings. The first is head-to-head records. The won-loss-tied records in games against the other tied teams are compared and the team with the highest win percentage (ties counting half-a-win) wins the tiebreaker. The whole tiebreaking procedure can be found at http://www.nfl.com/standings/tiebreakingprocedures.
