The undercard, Josh Norman vs Odell Beckham.

What’s will happen in the Norman-Beckham rematch?

The most anticipated rematch of the year is nearly upon us: New York Giants wideout Odell Beckham Jr. will face off against Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman.

In case you somehow forgot, the last time the two of them met when Norman was a Carolina Panther, the game turned into a crazy melee complete with fisticuffs during and after multiple plays. It got so out of hand the NFL changed rules not long after to have a player ejected for a pair of unsportsmanlike conduct penalties in the same game, perhaps inspired by the five flags the pair drew in that Week 15 contest.

What will happen on Sunday when the bell rings on Beckham-Norman II? Here are some predictions and the odds on them:

3-to-1: Both players are flagged just once for unsportsmanlike conduct

This is the favorite and here's why: Officials will more than likely have short fuses and quick trigger fingers when it comes to anything remotely close to what happened last year. If the pair lock helmets and chatter after a play - which isn't too out of the ordinary - you can be sure a yellow hankie will fly. That should be enough to shut down anything further. Neither player wants to be sent to the showers in an important NFC East matchup.

5-to-1: Beckham and Norman just play football

Translation: No extra-curricular activities. There won't be any flags for fighting or taunting. Why? This date has been circled on everyone's calendar for months. The pair have done their talking - and there was a lot of chatter - off the field. Furthermore, if Beckham knows Norman and the Redskins might try to knock him off his game by playing head games, the best thing he can do is focus on catching passes, ultimately proving last year's MMA bout was an anomaly.

10-to-1: The two get into some after-the-whistle business, but enforcers step in

Okay, this is just my idea: Each team treats this like hockey and has a bigger dude ready to jump in to protect the two stars. If I were a head coach, this would be a good way to keep the uber-valuable Beckham and Norman on the field, although zebras will almost certainly flag anyone who jumps into the fray late.

30-to-1: Someone throws a punch, gets tossed and is suspended for a game

Remember, Beckham sat for a contest last year. If he's tossed, the league might target him as a repeat offender.

1,000-to-1: An all-out brawl

Even if tempers flare in some fashion, there's no way anyone lets it come to this. Right?

72,000-to-1: They hug, sing a verse of Kumbaya during warmups, and exchange jerseys and smiling selfies after the game
