Go Packers: Redskins games predict the winner of U.S. presidential elections
I wrote about this earlier in the month. I thought I'd repost this piece from Snopes along with my cheer...GO PACK!:
Claim: The outcome of Washington Redskins football games has correctly predicted the winner of every U.S. presidential election since 1936.
Status: True.
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.
The game takes place at 1 ET today against the Green Bay Packers. The bookies are betting Green Bay and 2.5 points.
