3. That's great.

Could someone explain to me. Is it the Republicans that benefit from a Redskins victory the weekend before the election, or the incumbent party?

My Packers win and the Vi-Queens lose.

6. In every pres. election since

1940, when there is an incumbent running, if the Redskins lose their last home game before the election so does the incumbent.

Claim: The outcome of Washington Redskins home football games has correctly predicted the winner of every U.S. presidential election since 1936.

Status: True.

Example:

FOOTBALL + ELECTION

Did you know....??

The Washington Redskins have proved to be a time-tested election predictor. In the previous 15 elections, if the Washington Redskins have lost their last home game prior to the election, the incumbent party has lost the White House. When they have won, the incumbent has stayed in power.

This election year, that deciding game takes place on Sunday, October 31 ... vs. Green Bay.

Go Pack!!!
