In the NFL if you win all your divisional games are you in the playoffs?
No. A team's overall win-loss record is used to determine who makes the playoffs. Divisional win-loss record is a criteria used in breaking some ties when it comes to playoff eligibility but is not the sole criteria used in determining who won a division. If two teams finish tied for first place in a division at the end of the season, divisional win-loss record is the second tie breaker used, after head-to-head win-loss record, to determine the division winner. But a team that won all of their divisional games and lost all of their other games would wind up 6-10 and not make the playoffs. No. The team with the best overall win-loss record in the division wins that division and receives an automatic playoff berth. In the event of a tie between two teams, the team with more head-to-head wins over the other team is declared the winner. If there is still a tie, the team with the better overall division record is declared the winner.

If the Mets and Phillies end the season with the same record why is there a one game playoff when the Phillies won the season series with the Mets?
To have a playoff offers more chances to sell tickets, beer, and air time. C'mon ... that's an easy one. -- In cases where one team makes the postseason and the other doesn't, baseball does not settle ties using best head-to-head record but rather through a one game tiebreaker. If however the only question is which team wins the division and which wins the Wild Card, best head to head record is used to determine the division winner. In 2008 the Mets have the better head to head record than the Phillies and they both finish with better records than the Brewers, the Mets would win the division based on better head to head record and the Phillies would take the Wild Card. If the Mets, Phillies, and Brewers all finish with the same record, the Mets and Phillies would play a one game tiebreaker for the division title, and then the loser would play the Brewers for the Wild Card.
