In a certain sense, there is free will. Suppose you put a long line of cocaine in front of a cocaine addict and tell him, "It's all yours." He technically has free will not to snort it. But you know he will.

Your understanding of free will in this scenario is predicated upon a God that operates on the same chronological timeline that we do and has the same perception of time that we have.
God transcends time. God knows what will happen, not because we don't have free will, but because he exists in the past, present, and future.
This, of course, is metaphysical speculation. But not at all implausible for anyone who believes in an omnipotent and omnipresent God.
