*** Match for the World Heavyweight Championship
John Cena vs. Chris Jericho (c)

My Prediction: Chris Jericho, Submission, Yes - interference

I decided to go for it on this PPV and make all of my wild picks.  I'm still feeling a screwjob - I'll probably be wrong but we'll find out!  I do not think Cena will be winning the belt.  It makes sense to have Jericho be the buffer between Cena and Batista leading up to the next big match between the two of them.  They could switch and then have Orton be that buffer by taking the title quickly off Cena, but I'd rather keep Jericho in the mix as long as possible. 

*** Match for the WWE Championship
Vladimir Kozlov vs. Triple H (c) vs. Jeff Hardy

My Prediction: Triple H

Never bet against Triple H!  I suppose if anything they could have Hardy win by pinning Kozlov, but I've given up on believing in the unexpected in HHH matches.

*** Casket Match,
Undertaker vs. Big Show

My Prediction: Undertaker, Yes - interference

Probably the last match in the Undertaker/Big Show feud, so I'm pretty sure Taker's winning this one.  Casket matches are famous for interference, so definitely see a couple of people come out during the match.  And yes, I think this is the time for Edge to make his return.  My wild pick, though I didn't ask it directly, is that Edge will help Taker win the match.

*** Team HBK vs Team JBL

My Prediction: Shawn Michaels & Rey Mysterio & The Great Khali & Shad & JTG

Shawn Michaels has been losing a lot lately, so I think it's time to give him a strong finish on a big 4 show.  Other than that, I have very little interest in any of the feuds here unless they change the feuds up and make an extended HBK & Rey/Miz & Morrison feud.

*** Team Animal vs Team RKO

My Prediction: Randy Orton & Mark Henry & William Regal & Shelton Benjamin & Cody Rhodes

Another one I'm not that intrigued by.  I'd much rather be seeing Benjamin vs R-Truth, William Regal vs Kofi Kingston, and Orton/Rhodes/Henry vs Batista/Punk/Hardy.  Or have a stipulation on the match that any survivors on the winning team get the ability to create a match for someone else of his choice (that doesn't include himself) for the next PPV.  Wouldn't that have made this match a little more interesting?  Not to mention it gives you something creatively to build to the next PPV right away! 

But anyway, I do think Orton's team is winning, and I think Rhodes is going to have a strong performance.

*** Team Raw vs Team Smackdown Divas

My Prediction: Beth Phoenix & Mickie James & Kelly Kelly & Candice Michelle & Jillian

And here's one where the teams really don't make sense.  Yeah, same brands, I get it.  Hopefully it will be quick and filled with a lot of inner-team fighting, that's the only way I can see the match being entertaining.

*** Will there be a Traditional Survivor Series Screwjob Finish in the final world championship match of the PPV?

My Prediction: Yes

Going out on a limb here..

*** Will Edge make an appearance at the PPV?

My Prediction: Yes

In the Casket Match.  Though it'd be interesting for him to get involved in the WWE title match too. 

*** Who is taking the fall in the WWE Championship Match?

My Prediction: Vladimir Kozlov

I feel like Hardy's getting a bigger push right now.  I don't think it's to the point they're giving him the WWE title, but I think it is to the point that he's not taking the fall here.

*** Team HBK vs JBL: Who will be eliminated first?

My Prediction: John Morrison

By superkick, revenge from HBK.

*** Team HBK vs JBL: Who will be eliminated last?

My Prediction: The Miz

By 619, revenge from Rey.

*** Team HBK vs JBL: How many survivors will there be on the winning team?

My Prediction: 3

HBK, Rey, and Khali.

*** Team Animal vs RKO: Who will be eliminated first?

My Prediction: Shelton Benjamin

I want to see more Benjamin, but if R-Truth knocks him out quick it could help that feud get higher priority for the next PPV - but if he is eliminated first and they still don't feature him much, that won't be cool.

*** Team Animal vs RKO: Who will be eliminated last?

My Prediction: Batista

By Orton, but I could see Rhodes with the assist.

*** Team Animal vs RKO: How many survivors will there be on the winning team?

My Prediction: 1

Orton.

*** Team Raw vs Smackdown: Who will be eliminated first?

My Prediction: Maryse

This is more of a random pick from the ones I don't know much about.

*** Team Raw vs Smackdown: Who will be eliminated last?

My Prediction: Maria

I think McCool will get eliminated in some way that keeps her strong and away from Beth Phoenix.  So I think it will be Maria who takes the final fall from Beth.

*** Team Raw vs Smackdown: How many survivors will there be on the winning team?

My Prediction: 2

Beth Phoenix..  and I don't know, Mickie James?

*** How many titles will change hands at Survivor Series?

My Prediction: None

There's only 2 on the line (unless a Smackdown tag match is added), and I don't think either is switching.
