There are 6 playoff spots from each conference. The division champions each get a playoff berth, and two wild cards are given to the next two non-division champions with the best records.

At least 1, but no more that 3. The winner of each division goes to the playoffs as division champs and the 2 teams with the best record out all the remaining teams in the conference go as wild card teams.
