predicted_viewmodel is a point entity present in some Source games. In most multiplayer games, this entity acts as the player's viewmodel - what they're currently holding in their hands. Some games will create one per player, while some will create one for each weapon they hold. To do: Explain how this is different from the regular viewmodel entity, why some multiplayer games do not use this entity, and how much these entities affect the edict count.
