Out of the 4 categories (that include U2) that they are offering predictions for, they are predicting only 1 win (best rock album).
While you may disagree with their assessment of the quality of ATYCLB, it is true that it's the kind of album that the Grammy-folk prefer to award, i.e., big seller & not too scary/challenging/different, ala POP or Zooropa or something. Nonetheless, even having said this, they don't see them winning in a big way this year. (Again, at least in the 4 categories they analyze that apply to U2).
