The 66th annual Grammy Awards are fast approaching, kicking off at 8 p.m. ET on Sunday, Feb. 2 at Crypto.com Arena.
The 2025 Grammy nominations were announced in November, and oddsmakers wasted little time getting odds out. Beyonce and Taylor Swift predictably find themselves dueling in the marquee Album of the Year category, while Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan find themselves in the running across multiple races.
We break down the favorites in the major categories as we check out this year's Grammy betting odds. Tune in to see who comes out on top on Feb. 2.

Album of the Year odds

Let's dispense with the formalities and get right into it: This category is packed with the top women's recording talent on the planet. Women occupy the top six spots on this list, which is unprecedented — and several deserving candidates are going to be left watching the winner walk to the stage.
Cowboy Carter is the worthy favorite here, but that -125 price tag might deter most bettors who believe there is value to be mind out of any of the next four names on the list. The name that stands out most to me here: Charli XCX, whose sixth album Brat earned rave reviews from both critics and fans and probably should be even higher on this board.
At the risk of offending Swifties and the BeyHive, I'm rolling with Brat (Charli XCX) at +250 in a category that is as loaded as it has been in years.
Record of the Year odds

I hate chalky plays as much as the next person, but it's going to be tough for anyone to get away from Carpenter here.
Not only did "Espresso" mark Carpenter's first-ever top-10 single on the Billboard Top 100, it landed on top of the charts in 20 different countries. Carpenter's star has never shone brighter, and "Espresso" is the fuel most responsible for her breakneck ascension.
A $10 wager will only return $2.33 in profit, but Espresso (Sabrina Carpenter) at -430 is the only viable option here.
Song of the Year odds
| Nominee | |
|---|---|
Rap hits are traditionally ignored in this category, passed over in favor of more radio-friendly pop fare — but if anyone deserves to smash that trend, it's Kendrick Lamar.
"Not Like Us" is, with zero doubt, the greatest diss track ever written (sorry, Drake) — but more than that, it's one of the most critically acclaimed songs so far this decade, pushing the envelope in ways few artists have. That it sits second on this list despite rap's history in the category is a testament to the meteoric impact it has had on the music industry as a whole.
If "Not Like Us" doesn't win Song of the Year, I don't think a rap song ever will. And I'm not ready to go there yet. I'll take Not Like Us (Kendrick Lamar) at +480 in hopes that common sense prevails.
Best New Artist odds
| Nominee | |
|---|---|
Regardless of which side of the Best New Artist discourse you're on, Chappell Roan vs. Sabrina Carpenter shouldn't be this one-sided, should it?
It really depends on how you see voters adjudicating each contenders' resumes. This category goes out of its way to reward creativity, originality, and innovation — and while Carpenter's status as a global music superstar can't be challenged, Roan has been a sweet breath of fresh air to the industry with a distinct sound and songwriting approach.
Roan should win, but her runner-up shouldn't be this big an underdog — so for the sake of superior value, I'm going with Sabrina Carpenter at +750.
