Thousands of Gold Derby users have placed their bets for this weekend’s Grammy Awards here in our predictions center, but based on their combined forecasts we’re not expecting any artist to sweep. Instead, we think the awards will be pretty evenly split. Scroll down for our predictions in 37 categories, listed by artist.

Taylor Swift is the odds-on favorite to make history with an Album of the Year victory for “Midnights.” It would be her fourth win in the category following victories for “Fearless,” “1989” and “Folklore.” That would set a new record for the most Album of the Year wins for any recording artist ever, breaking Swift’s tie with Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder and Paul Simon. But she’s only tipped to win two other categories out of her six total nominations: Best Pop Vocal Album for “Midnights” and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for “Karma” featuring Ice Spice.

Likewise, we’re expecting Billie Eilish to win three of her six nominations, all for her “Barbie” ballad “What Was I Made For?”: Song of the Year, Best Music Video and Best Visual Media Song. SZA leads the overall nominations with nine bids, but she too is expected to claim three, all in genre categories: Best R&B Performance for “Kill Bill,” Best Traditional R&B Performance for “Love Language” and Best Progressive R&B Album for “SOS.” Fellow R&B standout Victoria Monet is out front in three races too: Best New Artist, Best R&B Song (“On My Mama”) and Best R&B Album (“Jaguar II”).

Two more artists are predicted to claim three prizes each. The alternative supergroup Boygenius gets best odds for Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song for “Not Strong Enough,” while their collection “The Record” is favored to take Best Alternative Music Album. And though country star Zach Bryan only earned three nominations this year, we’re anticipating a clean sweep for him: Best Country Duo/Group Performance and Best Country Song for “I Remember Everything” featuring Kacey Musgraves and Best Country Album for his self-titled release.
