Wild Card hopes, who do we root for?

So for us to get into the playoffs, it is looking more and more apparent that we will have to get there via Wild Card.
So in that regard how do we decide who we want to win or lose each game? Do we want the division leaders to pretty much win out from here on and hope everyone else in the NFC loses their games? Like say do we want ATL/Chicago/SF to win the majority of their games so the other teams vying for the Wild Card rack up losses from playing those teams?
For instance this NYG/SF game, we have to play both teams and the two very well could win their divisions so I have no clue who I would rather win. Redskins/Vikings, both will most likely not win the division but the Vikings are far ahead in win/loss, while the Redskins beat us head to head.
Overall what is the strategy in choosing who to root for other than the Saints from here on out?

In the case of the Redskins/Vikings I don't think either win the division, but feel the Vikings have a better chance of getting the Wild Card so I'd pull for the Redskins even though they beat us head to head.

I think it's entirely too early to decide that. Hypothetically we could still win our division. Unlikely, but we've only played 6 games. I think you need be more around week 12 or so to really get a better picture. I just sure as well don't want to get sent all the way to the west coast for the 3rd year in a row
Just quickly looking at the standings, for example, NFC West has 3 teams at 4-2. Technically 2 teams from there could take both wildcard spots. We really just need to hope that the middle teams beat each other up and the top teams continue to win (except for Atlanta, frick them

Our best chance is to have ATL NYG SF CHI win their divisions. Have GB get a wild card and NO get the other. So we start rooting for all the teams I listed to beat the rest of the NFC. I think we can catch all the East teams, we need the Seahawks, Cardinals, and Vikings to come back to us

doesn't really matter who this team is as long as they do the most damage

I just said GB because it might be a losing battle rooting for them to lose later in the year. They also have the tiebreaker in case we tie for 6th

I will root for us to get the Wild Card and play in ATL. After going 0-4 and having to hear their smug asses all season, knocking them out of the playoffs after this hell of an offseason would be nothing sweeter.
And hey, the Pack is 2-3. If they lose to the Texans (which is very possible), we could pull within one from them

i would love to go in as the 6 seed with them having the 1. Ideally they finish the season 14-3 at this point

Yeah hopefully 14-2 with us sweeping them and kicking them out of the playoffs

The NFC is a cluster right now. Believe it or not, we are not out of this.

Elite teams with 3 losses all over the place.. we only have 1 more and they don't have excuses. We in good shape. Win this week and we get an actual head coach back soon!

The best hope is for the the AFC to beat the NFC as much as possible.
Unfortunately, the Patriots are 0-2 versus the NFC West. Didn't see that coming.
Once divisional play gets rolling, the losses will start adding up for the cluster of teams in the hunt for 5 and 6 seed.
Hopefully, we did all of our losing the first 4 weeks.

Are you serious? It's week 6! We need to worry about beating Tampa! At this point, nothing else matters!

I'm not being a smartass, but I think the only team we can/should root for at this point is the Saints. They have a very tough road and unless they play some serious ball, it will not matter who else wins or loses.

the saints
