ODDSMAKERS BET ON A BILLIE SWEEP
Billie Eilish is on track for a Grammy sweep, according to oddsmakers.
The green-visored gurus of SportsBettingDime say Interscope's teen phenom is heavily tipped to win in all four top categories (AOTY, ROTY, SOTY, BNA), with her odds in the Album 1/1. Michelle Obama is considered a shoo-in for Spoken Word or Non-Musical Album. President Trump gets 3-1 odds to be mentioned by name at some point. Are these handicappers unimpeachable in their predictions? We won't say, but you can see lots and lots of odds below. Meanwhile, industry insiders are quietly placing odds on who will say what about recent bombshells in their speeches.
