To which I responded, "Well yeah, of course they are, but I think Ramsay is going to kill Roose too." 10 seconds later, he shivs him.
Is the writing this predictable or am I just really good at guessing?

I think some things (like Roose being murdered by Ramsay) being predictable is OK. You want characters to be consistent, and act in ways that don't betray their past behaviour. I think the biggest thing to avoid with predictable plot lines is when the characters in the show somehow don't have the same intuition as the viewer. If the plot 'twist' is telegraphed miles away, and the characters are somehow oblivious to these clues, then it can be frustrating to the viewer.
But for maximum viewer satisfaction, when the twist happens should be a surprise. I thought they would build more distrust between Roose and Ramsay before the deed was finally done. But that would be boring, since we knew what it was building to. So I'm glad they got it over with quickly (enough).
And I assume the Jon Snow and his wildling army will crush Ramsay at Winterfell soon enough too.
