We’re about to start the favorite time of the year for most Jeopardy! fans—it’s Tournament of Champions season!
As in previous years, each player has been given a seed between 1 and 21 based on wins and money won, with the two auto-bids placed between the 4- and 5-time champions. Each player’s odds, representing their overall chance of victory, are listed, as displayed in American odds notation—remember, though, such odds are for entertainment purposes only.
As with last year, the predictions are based on the same model that was born for the 2019 All Star Games, based on how well a player has played on low-value (the top 3 rows) and high-value (bottom 2 rows). Adjustments are then made based on Daily Double gains, Final Jeopardy performance, and even if a player has played another ToC-level player. Variance is still calculated based on overall consistency.
It should also be noted that Adriana’s, Isaac’s, and Drew Basile’s stats include the exhibition game that aired last night on TuneIn, and the prediction model has taken that game into account.
Seeded to the Semi-Finals:
Adriana Harmeyer (1) (+670)
West Lafayette, Indiana
376 correct, 43 incorrect
21/24 on rebound attempts (on 63 rebound opportunities)
37.23% in first on buzzer (360/967)
12/18 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $18,000)
14/17 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $16,094
Adriana’s strength lies in her ability to get Final Jeopardy correct. That may end up working to her advantage, especially if that helps her pick up a win that a lesser player of Clue 61 might not be able to get.
Isaac Hirsch (2) (+580)
Burbank, California
299 correct, 51 incorrect
16/21 on rebound attempts (on 45 rebound opportunities)
47.60% in first on buzzer (298/626)
14/20 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $9,800)
8/11 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $19,909
Having consistently the best Coryat of the three seeded players, Isaac is currently the favorite to win this Tournament. He did admit in the exhibition game to having worked on his wagering strategy since his initial run, including having to re-learn subtraction, so that should help him as well.
Drew Basile (3) (+620)
Birmingham, Michigan
198 correct, 41 incorrect
10/15 on rebound attempts (on 45 rebound opportunities)
38.72% in first on buzzer (199/514)
11/16 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $37,400)
4/9 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $16,111
I thought that Drew used the exhibition game very well, and the prediction model gave him a big boost to his chances. Drew’s pair of True Daily Doubles in that game are very useful from a mental perspective, similar to how Bryson DeChambeau often likes to practice from the forward tees in order to mentally prepare for the possibility of shooting a very low number.
Monday, January 27, 2025:
Alison Betts (5) (+2100)
San Jose, California
133 correct, 27 incorrect
10/11 on rebound attempts (on 35 rebound opportunities)
38.60% in first on buzzer (132/342)
10/11 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $32,000)
4/6 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $13,667
Alison’s strong play on the Daily Doubles in her initial games makes her the favorite in the opening quarterfinal. One thing to keep in mind: Alison initially lost from going big in a Final Jeopardy situation where she had a choice of going big or small—it’ll be interesting to see if she makes a different choice if she’s in a similar situation again.
Will Wallace (12) (+4000)
Austin, Texas
88 correct, 13 incorrect
6/6 on rebound attempts (on 29 rebound opportunities)
29.12% in first on buzzer (83/285)
5/7 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $5,600)
3/5 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $12,960
Will’s got four wins, but the prediction model doesn’t show any strong points for him compared to the field as a whole; he may need some help to get out of the quarterfinals.
Rishabh Wuppalapati (19) (+5300)
Vernon Hills, Illinois
73 correct, 14 incorrect
1/4 on rebound attempts (on 15 rebound opportunities)
33.48% in first on buzzer (76/227)
2/3 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $5,000)
3/4 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $12,500
Rishabh’s stats haven’t been helped by his inability thus far to find Daily Doubles; he’s going to need to find some in Double Jeopardy (he was 1-for-8 in finding them initially) in order to have a good chance of advancing.
The Prediction Model Thinks: Alison Betts: 38.853%; Will Wallace: 31.934%; Rishabh Wuppalapati: 29.213%.
Tuesday, January 28, 2025:
Amy Hummel (7) (+4700)
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
120 correct, 22 incorrect
6/8 on rebound attempts (on 29 rebound opportunities)
35.91% in first on buzzer (121/337)
3/7 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: -$10,700)
4/6 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $14,700
In having to face off against Grant and David, Amy did not get a great draw. Her being negative five figures on Daily Doubles also hurts her numbers in the prediction model.
Grant DeYoung (11) (+2300)
Prescott, Arizona
114 correct, 36 incorrect
2/5 on rebound attempts (on 16 rebound opportunities)
46.10% in first on buzzer (130/282)
7/10 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $16,200)
5/5 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $13,440
Grant is great on the buzzer, but also averaged 6.6 unforced errors in his initial games. As ToC clues get harder, Grant may need to reel in his guesses in order to advance in this event.
David Erb (14) (+1700)
Seattle, Washington
76 correct, 10 incorrect
4/4 on rebound attempts (on 15 rebound opportunities)
31.14% in first on buzzer (71/228)
6/7 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $36,000)
2/4 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $14,550
This game will be a matter of “which David shows up”—he was very strong early in his run, but seemed to run out of gas as he got tired. This being the second game of the day taped should help his chances.
The Prediction Model Thinks: Amy Hummel: 27.732%; Grant DeYoung: 34.778%; David Erb: 37.490%.

Wednesday, January 29, 2025:
Greg Jolin (4) (+1300)
Raymond, New Hampshire
160 correct, 18 incorrect
7/8 on rebound attempts (on 21 rebound opportunities)
46.63% in first on buzzer (159/341)
5/5 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $22,600)
5/6 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $17,967
The prediction model thinks that Greg is the strongest player in the entire field; unfortunately, for his overall tournament chances, he needs to get through Weckiai and Neilesh first. If there is one weakness to Greg’s game, it’s that he struggled to find Daily Doubles in Double Jeopardy; there were a lot of 2s in his selection stats. That might leave openings for opponents to take advantage.
Weckiai Rannila (21) (+4700)
Albuquerque, New Mexico
87 correct, 18 incorrect
3/4 on rebound attempts (on 14 rebound opportunities)
40.97% in first on buzzer (93/227)
1/4 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: -$3,000)
2/4 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $13,350
Speaking of Daily Doubles, those clues (both finding and responding correctly to) also proved to be a struggle for Weckiai. Much like Greg, though, she can dominate a game if she gets on a roll.
Neilesh Vinjamuri (17) (+2300)
Lionville, Pennsylvania
90 correct, 12 incorrect
6/6 on rebound attempts (on 22 rebound opportunities)
37.28% in first on buzzer (85/228)
6/7 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $9,500)
1/4 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $17,950
Neilesh has a very strong average Coryat, one of the higher ones in the field; he got a bit of an unfortunate draw in having to play Greg. He easily could have been favored in some of the other quarterfinals.
The Prediction Model Thinks: Greg Jolin: 40.265%; Weckiai Rannila: 26.442%; Neilesh Vinjamuri: 33.293%.
Thursday, January 30, 2025:
Mehal Shah (8) (+2600)
Seattle, Washington
154 correct, 18 incorrect
13/13 on rebound attempts (on 31 rebound opportunities)
35.77% in first on buzzer (142/397)
8/10 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $36,200)
1/7 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $16,057
There always seems to be one “fireworks quarterfinal”—and this year’s is this game here. Mehal, fresh out of Champions Wildcard, gets drawn with Ryan Manton and Will Stewart. Mehal’s biggest weakness right now is Final Jeopardy, where he’s 1-for-7, and that number hurts him dearly with the prediction model.
Ryan Manton (10) (+3000)
Columbus, Ohio
112 correct, 10 incorrect
7/8 on rebound attempts (on 22 rebound opportunities)
35.44% in first on buzzer (101/285)
5/8 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $4,000)
2/5 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $17,640
Ryan has the best average Coryat in this game, and yet he’s predicted third. That’s how strong his two opponents have been on Daily Doubles.
Will Stewart (15) (+1700)
Nashville, Tennessee
86 correct, 7 incorrect
14/14 on rebound attempts (on 26 rebound opportunities)
30.84% in first on buzzer (70/227)
4/5 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $15,400)
3/4 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $16,450
If you’re wondering how Mehal would be rated if Mehal were normal in Final Jeopardy, it would probably be similar to Will Stewart. Will’s already played against a pair of others in this field in Allison Gross and Grant DeYoung, and he barely lost to Grant.
The Prediction Model Thinks: Mehal Shah: 32.002%; Ryan Manton: 30.885%; Will Stewart: 37.113%.

Friday, January 31, 2025:
Mark Fitzpatrick (6) (+2200)
Riverside, Connecticut
129 correct, 26 incorrect
4/5 on rebound attempts (on 24 rebound opportunities)
37.83% in first on buzzer (129/341)
11/15 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $27,800)
2/6 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $17,067
Mark did an excellent job of playing Daily Double Keepaway from his opponents in his initial run and backed that up with a strong Coryat as well. That is more than enough to make him the favorite to advance to the semifinals out of this match.
Allison Gross (20) (+3400)
Cleveland, Ohio
77 correct, 14 incorrect
6/8 on rebound attempts (on 15 rebound opportunities)
32.29% in first on buzzer (72/223)
5/7 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $4,800)
1/4 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $13,150
Allison faced some head-scratching Final Jeopardy clues during her initial run back in May; her stats were generally good, though, but not quite at Mark’s level.
Kevin Laskowski (18) (+6000)
Falls Church, Virginia
64 correct, 13 incorrect
6/10 on rebound attempts (on 26 rebound opportunities)
25.88% in first on buzzer (59/228)
2/4 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $0)
3/4 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $12,700
Kevin may need some buzzer luck to go his way in order to advance; his buzzer percentage is lowest in the entire field.
The Prediction Model Thinks: Mark Fitzpatrick: 37.905%; Allison Gross: 33.474%; Kevin Laskowski: 28.621%.
Monday, February 3, 2025:
Drew Goins (9) (+1800)
Honolulu, Hawaiʻi
178 correct, 22 incorrect
8/10 on rebound attempts (on 31 rebound opportunities)
37.72% in first on buzzer (172/456)
8/10 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $22,000)
4/8 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $17,350
The darling of both Second Chance and Champions Wildcard, Drew got a chance to enter this field as a replacement for Lisa Ann Walter. He’s had some very strong performances over the past few weeks and the prediction model is acknowledging that by making Drew the favorite in this match.
Amar Kakirde (13) (+3600)
Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey
92 correct, 20 incorrect
8/10 on rebound attempts (on 29 rebound opportunities)
31.23% in first on buzzer (89/285)
4/8 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $7,500)
2/5 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $13,600
A significant overbet in Final Jeopardy in his fifth game prevented him from becoming a 5-time champion. Will he have worked on his betting strategy for the tournament?
Lucas Partridge (16) (+5100)
Las Vegas, Nevada
85 correct, 15 incorrect
5/6 on rebound attempts (on 18 rebound opportunities)
38.84% in first on buzzer (87/224)
1/3 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: -$500)
3/4 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $13,650
Lucas is someone who I think will need the Daily Doubles to break in his direction in order to have a good chance of victory in the quarterfinals.
The Prediction Model Thinks: Drew Goins: 38.997%; Amar Kakirde: 31.960%; Lucas Partridge: 29.043%.
