The wild card isn't determined by number of wins. It's determined by ranking within the conference. The four division winners get automatic playoff berths. After that, two wild cards go to the non-division winners with the best win-loss record. If more than two teams have the same record, the NFL uses a series of tiebreakers to determine who advances to the playoffs.

4 (theoretically) the top 4 playoff spots belong to the division winners. A team can go 4 and 2 within their divisio, lose the rest and still clinch if every body else exchanges wins

There is no set number of wins, but the fewest number of wins for a playoff team so far (16 game schedule) is 8 as of the end of the 2009 season.

How many NBA games are needed to clinch a playoff?

That all depends on how the other teams did. If almost everyone is at 42-42, than probably a 46 win season would secure a playoff spot. However, if everyone in the west does good for one season and they all have about 50+ wins, than having 45 wins wouldn't be enough. It depends on all the other teams performances. You could have won 60% of your games in the west and still not make it into the playoffs. But in the east you can get in with less than or aroud 50% wins. It really depends on the team itself and the otherteams.
