I'm a diehard Redskin fan, yet I must join the Mrs. Grumpy bandwagon
and root for the Packers?

Why?

According to Keith Olberman, the Redskin election year win/loss record is an accurate gauge as to who will become president.

Whenever the Skins lose and an incumbent is up for reelection, the incumbent loses.

However, being that this incumbent wasn't elected in the first place, that may throw a monkey wrench in the works.

But I'm gonna stay on the safe side and root for the Packers.

1. The Skins can't score more than 13 points
Their offense gives up MORE points than they score themselves

3. I'm a Vikings fan, and I'll be cheering for the arch-rival Packers
It's killing me, but some things transcend sports.

Go Pack go!! (Until you play the Vikings, lol)

19. Same here.
Too bad our team is so injury-plagued this year.
However, the Redskins also look pretty bad this year. The Packers have a good chance of beating them.
