I believe it was both the RAMBAM and RAMBAN who talked about predictions. It was the RAMBAM who is noted for telling us that we would be cursed if we make prediction, but I do believe the two provisos were made by him since he actually made a prediction (I remember the prediction that he made, even though it was inaccurate).
