The Hallowed Team?

My brother asks:

Correlation? or Causation?

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

Status: True.

FOOTBALL + ELECTION

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!!!
