For a Supreme Court whose playbook usually begins, ends, and largely consists of punts, this decision to jump in front of federal vaccine mandates looks more like an onside kick. Not only did the court decide to take up two separate tracks at the same time on the merits rather than deal with temporary injunction requests, they scheduled arguments for what appears to be the soonest possible date:
The Supreme Court says it will hold a special session in just over two weeks to weigh challenges to two Biden administration policies covering vaccine requirements for millions of workers, policies that affect large employers and health care workers.
The high court’s announcement Wednesday that it will hear arguments in the cases Jan. 7 comes amid rising coronavirus cases and is an extraordinarily fast timeline. The court had not been scheduled to hear cases again until Jan. 10.
...
The high court also will hear arguments over a rule published Nov. 5 by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid that applies to a wide range of health care providers that receive federal Medicare or Medicaid funding. It requires their workers to receive the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine by Dec. 6 and be fully vaccinated by Jan. 4. It was projected to affect more than 17 million workers in about 76,000 health care facilities as well as home health care providers.

I think the Chief Justice will show his blue colors and will side with Biden and I think he will pressure others to follow his lead.

Plenty of precedent for that. Roberts is a full-blown *****, afraid of his own shadow (when he's not re-writing legislation for the Dems).
