Hillary Clinton is going to win the presidential election this November.

No, we’re not looking at the New York Times forecast that says she has an 90 percent chance of victory, nor this 538 model that puts her at a 6-to-7 point lead, or any other polling, for that matter.

It’s thanks to a home game win from our very own Washington Football Team over the Philadelphia Eagles.

One theory, named after the team, posits that if they win their final home game before the election the incumbent party stays in the White House. If they lose, though, the challengers will take over. Steve Hirdt of the Elias Sports Bureau, pointed out the correlation in 2000.

For the last 19 elections, the rule has held true 17 times, according to Marketwatch.

That sounds pretty impressive, but the rule held up much better last century when it predicted every single presidential match-up from 1940, the first presidential election after the team relocated from Boston, through 2000. It’s fared significantly less well this millennium.

A loss to the Packers at Fed Ex Field on Halloween 2004 should have portended a John Kerry victory, and the tea leaves pointed to a Mitt Romney win in 2012 after the team fell to the Panthers on November 4 of that year. So the rule has, so far this century, only been correct 50 percent of the time.

Some believers claim that the rule actually got it right in 2004 by modifying it after George W. Bush lost the popular vote but won the electoral college: “When the popular vote winner does not win the election, the impact of the Redskins game on the subsequent presidential election gets flipped.” Sounds fishy, but no more spurious than the rest of it. There are no excuses for 2012 … yet.

This year, the results of the rule set in with nearly a month before election day because the team is playing its “home game” during Week 8 in London, as SBNation points out. This gives Trump supporters considerable grist for their concerns about globalist conspiracies and the flight of jobs from American shores.

Clinton has yet to comment on her newly improved chances, but did speak out in 2014 about her thoughts on the team’s name. “I think it’s insensitive and I think that there’s no reason for it to continue as the name of a team in our nation’s capital,” she told Fusion’s Jorge Ramos. She added that she hasn’t come up with her own suggestions for a replacement.

Team owner Dan Synder supported Jeb Bush in the Republican primaries, with a $100,000 donation to the pro-Jeb! Right to Rise PAC, and his wife Tanya donated $534.86 directly to the Trump campaign, as first reported by Washington City Paper last February.

Trump is not supportive of a name change for the team. “I know Indians that are extremely proud of that name,” he said in a radio interview last October. “They think it’s a positive.”
