It depends on the Agnew situation. If his scandal doesn't take place then he'd have a good shot at the nomination - he seems to have been positioning himself as the conservative candidate for 1976 as he knew that he needed to eat into Reagan's appeal. If he is still forced to resign, then it would pretty inevitably be Reagan as the GOP nominee.
For the Democrats, I doubt Carter gets nominated without the outsider effect of Watergate. It's probably Church or Udall, maybe Scoop Jackson if they really desire a different direction from the 1972 nomination race.
It's a hard race to call, but you would have to give the edge to Reagan.
