PREDICTION PREDILICTION

Six weeks into the season, we know this: the Redskins and Packers both suck. Both have lost 4 straight. Indeed, both are 1-4. Both are last in their division. In no game this year have the Redskins scored more than 18 points, but neither have they given up more than 21. The Packers have been more productive on offense, but less consistent, and gave up 48 to the 2-3 Titans (who hadn't previously scored more than 17 this season). But Brett "Fav-ruh" Farve is still playing pretty well even if he has no one to throw to, whereas Washington's starting QB, Mark Brunell isn't working out so far.

So what does this mean for George W. Bush and John F. Kerry, as per the popular superstition? It would be only fitting if their October 31 match-up resulted in -- if the rules still allow -- a tie.
