By this afternoon, we should know who'll win the election

Why? Very simple: The Redskin Rule says that if the Redskins win their last home game prior to the Presidential election, the incumbent party stays in office. If they lose, the challenger party wins. (There are more complicated versions that try to explain occasional deviations, but the simple rule works most of the time.) Obviously, this is a case of a spurious correlation rather than causation, but I'll still be rooting against the 'Skins today.
