I will not be pulling for the 'Clowns to win the game (in other words, I won't be standing in my chair and cheering everytime they score...), but more for the game to end in a way that will be beneficial to the Saints and give us a chance of not having to play for all the marbles in GB. Right now we have Atlanta where we want 'em...below us. I want homefield advantage, too.

Just my $.02, though.

That makes no sense. Yea we need GB to lose, eventually, but we need to secure our division first and most importantly. If Atlanta wins they will have a tiebreaker against us. You never want to give a division opponent an advantage. Especially before we have played them. Whichever team wins it will help us, but Green Bay winning will help us more. If the Falcons win, then at least we can take something positive away from it, but it is in our best interest to the Falcons to win.
What if a key player gets hurt (without naming names) and we lose a few because of that players absence and have to play lights out toward the end of the season to catch up? We would be screwed if the Falcons lucked out and beat Green Bay. If it were later in the season, yea I would pull for the Falcons, but its WAAAAYY to early for that.
