Yogesh Raut, an educational blogger, podcast host & writer originally from Springfield, Illinois

Yogesh Raut on Jeopardy!

Victoria Groce, a writer from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Victoria Groce on Jeopardy!

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

At initial publication time, here’s what we know: Victoria Groce will be in the final. It will very likely take an unlikely set of results to eliminate Yogesh Raut from contention, but we won’t know for sure until shortly before this episode starts airing.

I would say at this point that it is probably Victoria’s tournament to lose—with the exception of the opening game, she has been stronger overall than Yogesh has. However, I would also say that high-level Jeopardy! has enough variance to give either Juveria or Isaac a chance at victory as well. (Remember how close Mattea Roach came to defeating James Holzhauer back in 2023?) Anything can happen in this final!

That being said, the Unified Prediction Model currently has Victoria as 46.0% to win a two-game final between Victoria, Yogesh (34.3%), and Juveria (19.7%), 48.9% to win a two-game final between herself, Yogesh (36.8%), and Isaac (14.3%), and 56.2% to win a two-game final against Juveria (25.6%) and Isaac (18.2%).
