"... every presidential year LSU won the game the Republican nominee won the presidency. And every presidential year Alabama won the game the Democratic nominee took the office."


The Cubs already did their part...

"... Any time the World Series goes seven games – as it did this year – the league affiliation of the team determines the presidency, he said.

If the American League team wins, a Republican wins the presidency. If the National League team wins, the Democrats take the White House."


Of course, the NFL's Redskins muddied the waters (although this predictor has not held up recently) ...

"...the outcome of the last Redskins game before the election determines the presidential winner.

When the Redskins win, the party in power stays in power.

When the Redskins lose, the opposition party takes over.

Which is probably the most fitting predictor of this election. Because the Redskins already played their last game before the election, against the Bengals.

And they tied, 27-27."


Can I be concerned NOW!!! Hmmmm.....
