I disagree that its a dark horse as Bioware is making it.

A dark horse getting GOTY would be like Alan Wake getting GOTY

ME2 has prospects for this award, but first it needs to overcome FFXIII for the best RPG before even thinking bout GOTY. But the way sites give awards is odd

example -- uncharted 2 lost in its own genre category at the VGA's but won the overall GOTY! lol

Considering the current state of the JRPG market outside of Japan, I'd say it is FF13 that has to overcome ME2 for best RPG in the eyes of most publications/sites.  Expectations for ME2 are sky high, and early reviews are very positive, whereas many gamers still have a sour taste in their mouths from FF12 and the repeated delays of FF13.
