I can't believe I forgot about this on Sunday, but the surprisingly effective (but irrelevant) Redskins rule predicted Clinton to win by virtue of the Redskins' 27-20 win over the Eagles.  The rule goes as follows:

Redskins win their last home game before the election: Same party in power wins
Redskins lose their last home game before the election: Other party wins

It has only failed once since 1940, but that was in 2012, when it predicted Romney.  2004 stood under the Revised Redskins Rule, which flips it if the winner lost the popular vote in the previous election.
