Go Redskins?

Filed under: General — Tara @ 10:22 am

Looks like I might have to bet against my Packers in their game vs. the Redskins on Sunday, October 31st.

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

Translate this into this year, and that game is vs. the Packers and a Redskin win would mean an incumbent party WIN. How can I argue with nearly 70 years of accuracy? To read about every single game in those past 70 years, check out this site.

What do all of you think? Is this just an Urban Legend, or deep down, are you maybe thinking a Redskins win would be good for the country?

  1. There is a reason why God chose the Packers to play the Redskins that weekend. Clearly, God wants the Green Bay Packers,
    America’s team, to resignal the taking back of America :)
