There was time in America, between 1940 and 2000, when there the country's presidential elections were more predictable and less of a white-knuckle affair.
Thanks to what's become known as 'The Redskins Rule,' a trend emerged over six decades wherein Washington's final home game before a presidential could reliably predict the outcome: A Redskins win meant the incumbent's party would reclaim the , while a loss was good news for the challenger.
But the rule has become less reliable this millennium. It failed to predict the outcomes of the 2004, 2012 and 2016 elections, although an amended version of the rule created by its originator, Elias Sports Bureau's Steve Hirdt, claimed to account for the variations in the data set.
