The Redskins Rule predicts the result of presidential elections based on whether the NFL team that moved to the American capital in 1937 wins or loses its final home game before election day. The rule's been right in 17 out of 18 elections since FDR's election. Tim Minton says Barack Obama figured to get the 2012 prediction. But Mitt Romney supporters got a gameday surprise.
