First of all, I'm a Niner fan, so I'm not used to them not being in the playoffs. That sucks, but now I'm learning how everyone else feels.
Secondly, I'm rooting for a few different things. I'd like to see either Manning or McNabb get a Super Bowl ring, both being fantastic QBs. Same goes for other plays at other positions like WR Marvin Harrison, S Rodney Harrison, and anyone who's been on the Eagles' defense for all 3 NFC championship appearances (CBs Taylor and Vincent, S Brian Dawkins, etc). Also, it's hard not to root for the underdog Panthers who win with straight-up smashmouth football. I'm also pulling for the Patriots because they were my preseason pick to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl (NFC was Atlanta, but then Vick went down and that got fucked).
The only thing I'm really rooting against is a Colts/Panthers Super Bowl, because Carolina's secondary would get lit up like a fuckin' Christmas tree by Peyton Manning and Co.
