Musicians await the results of the 57th Annual Grammy Awards on Feb. 8, but Johnny Avello can already pick the winners.

The director of race and sports operations at Wynn Las Vegas handicaps the golden gramophones for entertainment purposes only. But if you happen to be in an office pool or want to amaze your friends with your prediction capabilities, these odds can help.

Avello predicts categories from album of the year and record of the year to best new artist and albums in each category of music. Avello posted these on Jan. 13.
