There are 12 criteria used to break ties for the Division championship starting with head to head competition, then best win/loss record in the division, then best win/loss record in common games, and going all the way to the 12th criteria which is a coin toss. There are 11 criteria used for breaking ties between two teams for a wild card playoff spot and 12 criteria used for three or more teams. They are very similar to the Division Championship tiebreaker rules, the first being head to head competition and the last being a coin toss. A coin toss has never been needed to break a tie for a playoff spot in the history of the NFL.

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.

Will an NFL team with a 8-6-2 record win a tiebreaker over a team with a 9-7 record?
No, and there would be no need for a tiebreaker in this situation. The team with a 9-7 record has more victories and therefore is ranked higher than a team with an 8-6-2 record.The first is wrong. In the NFL, ties are statistically counted as half a game won, half a game lost. Therefore, 8-6-2 is exactly the same, in terms of winning percentage, as 9-7.The 8-6-2 team would thus not win a tiebreaker by virtue of its record alone, but neither would the 9-7 team. The teams would be considered to have equal records, and the usual NFL tiebreakers would go into effect to determine divisional standings, playoff seedings, and so on.
