There’s something ominous about making a prediction.

Most people take to calling it… the “jinx”. You’re so sure your team is going to win. You’ve bet on it. Told all your friends. Declared it to the heavens. And for the sake of cruel, relentless irony, the universe wills the opposite fate into existence.

The jinx is ruthless, and undefeated. But here, one is protected by the jinx. Bold predictions are different. We’re just having fun. No one fully expects them to happen anyway. The word “bold” is a protective barrier from the sheer unpredictability of football.

We’re not just making predictions today. We’re making bold predictions for the Washington Redskins Week 2 matchup versus the Indianapolis Colts. Turn the slide and take a look, and don’t worry. The jinx doesn’t work here.
