How does 5-8-1 equal a higher winning percentage than 5-8?

Why the edit?
Want to expand on that?
A team that is 5-8-1 won 5 out of their 14 games, or .358 winning %. A team that is 5-8 won 5 out of 13, or .385. I get that a tie is used in the tiebreaking scenario, but it doesn't make sense to calculate it under winning %.
So the question was legit. A tie counts as .5 wins and .5 losses according to NFL rules. Seems like an unnecessary/stupid rule to me.
A team that is 8-8 should not be tied with a team that is 7-7-2 IMO. The goal is to win the game.
