Yes, you can predict that the outcomes of e.g. the coin flip will have 50-50 distribution instead of "the coin will land heads up" but this is a pretty useless kind of "prediction"; this trivial fixed point corresponds to "I don't know, and I won't even bother to try to know"

Also, consider the game of hunter-and-prey from my reply to the sibling comment. Again, the prediction that the prey will make some choice is arguably not a prediction at all.
