ASHBURN, Va. (AP) - This election season, Washington Redskins cornerback Fred Smoot has a predicament: For Kerry to win, the Redskins have to lose on Sunday - at least according to a bizarre statistical correlation that's been accurate for seven decades.
"We've got to win this game no doubt, but I'm hoping John Kerry can kind of reverse the curse," Smoot said. "I'm wishing him luck, man. This is the millennium for all trends to be broken."

Since the Redskins became the Redskins in 1933, the result of the team's final home game before the presidential election has correctly predicted the White House winner. If the Redskins win, the incumbent party wins. If they lose, the incumbent party is ousted.

"It's kind of amazing," coach Joe Gibbs said. "You wouldn't think something like that would line up that many times."

3. What is the spread for the game? I'm out of touch with pro-football.

Do the Redskins suck this year? Are the Packers any good?

5. Too bad the Patriots aren't playing the Skins instead of the Pack

Brett Favre has become one of the most erratic QB's in the league. I wouldn't bet on Green Bay this weekend.

Id feel much better if we needed Tom Brady to win it for us. Best clutch player in all of sports.
