I don't understand this.
In Newcomb's problem, Omega knows what you will do using their superintelligence. Since you know you cannot two-box successfully, you should one-box.
If Omega didn't know what you would do with a fair degree of accuracy, two-boxing would work, obviously.
Not if you mistakenly believe, as CDTers do, in human free will in a predictable (by Omega) universe.
"Free will" isn't incompatible with a predictable (by Omega) universe. I also doubt that all CDTers believe the same thing about human free will in said universe.
