Can Monday Night Football predict the next president? The Redskins Rule states, “if the Redskins won their last home game before the election, the incumbent party would stay in power.” Apparently, the rule has held for 17 out of the last 18 elections (or since 1936). The only time the Redskins Rule did not hold, was when George W. Bush was reelected; or maybe it really did? For this election, the Steelers beat the Redskins, so the Redskins Rule is in Obama’s favor.
