I've never bet on this before but I've been watching all the audition tapes and researching on the forums and here is my top 12 in order of confidence...

Guys:
Chris Sligh
Brandon Rogers
Sanjaya Malakar
Sundance Head (he's from the SOUTH)
Jared Cotter
Richardson

Not to sure on the last 2, I think Cotter will be a big surprise and I was split on Richardson/Lewis for 6th because Richardson seems to have a decent following on the idolforums... EDIT: Blake Lewis has the highest # of posts in his name.

Girls:
Melinda Doolittle
Lakisha Jones
Antonella Barba
Gina Glocksen
Amy Krebs
Alaina Alexander (Although many ppl have her going out early Simon really loved her in her first audition and I've read that she was sick during hollywood week so that may account for her voice)

I agree with curtains that Sligh Jones and Doolittle are virtual locks for the top 12 but I think Sanjaya and Rogers are close behind...
