According to the odds that are derived from the predictions made by users like you, either Lynch or Zerdin will win the $1 million prize and headline their own show in Las Vegas. But since there are 16 acts still in the running, it’s truly anyone’s game.

Following these two frontrunners, comedian/magician Piff the Magic Dragon is in our third-place position to win Season 10 with 6/1 odds. In fourth place is singing duo The CraigLewis Band with 12/1 odds, while The Professional Regurgitator sits comfortably in fifth place with odds of 33/1

All other acts have lowly 100/1 odds to win, but there are still two weeks left to vote in our prediction contest and influence the rankings. Which acts do YOU think our odds-makers are underestimating?
