There are four divisions in each of the two conferences in the NFL. The eight division winners make the playoffs and the teams with the two best records in each conference that did not win their division make the playoffs as 'wildcards'.

wild cards:to get in to the playoffs (in your conf.) you have to be in at least 6th place to make the playoffs in your conf.

div.:in order to make the divisional playoffs you must be one of the 4 teams in your conf. to win a division (like the AFC WEST) of the 4 teams that won the div. in the conf. who ever has the 2 best records of those 4 make it to the div. which means they get a bye week in 1 week of the playoffs and who ever wins a wild card game that happens to be in there division they play them to get to the championship for there conf.

champ:of the to final teams in the conf. playoffs faces off for the AFC OR NFC title and who ever wins those faces off for the Super Bowl (NFC CHAMP VS AFC CHAMP)
