Remember, this is a first-to-three-wins final—these three players will be playing anywhere from three to seven games, with $250,000 and a spot in Season 2 of Jeopardy! Masters going to the victor!

Overall Thoughts: If you are a fan of high-level Jeopardy! play, you are going to be in for an absolute treat over the next three to seven games. I am expecting to see three games with very few Triple Stumpers; all three players have proven to be very capable on more challenging material as well. The prediction model does have Troy as a slight favorite to be the first to win three games, though Ben does have a slight buzzer advantage.
Chances of each finals length: 3 games: 11.209%; 4 games: 22.361%; 5 games: 29.739%; 6 games: 24.583%; 7 games: 12.108%.

Prediction:
1. Troy Meyer
2. Ben Chan
3. Yogesh Raut
Proud to have Yogesh represent Vancouver, WA (which is not JUST a suburb of Portland, OR. We are our own place and the first city to be named Vancouver.)
Even so, I am really cheering for Ben.
My prediction:
1. Ben (3 games)
2. Troy (2 games)
3. Yogesh (2 games)
