I think it's too early to tell based on day1 scores. In the preview round few weeks back, it was the opposite, Ken and Watson was tied before the last $1k question to put Watson in the lead and Brad was _way_ behind with only a couple hundred bucks.
"Jennings has never beaten Rutter" Hmm, they only matched up like once or twice, right?
- kgermino 16y agoYes, AFAIK Jennings and Rutter have only ever faced off in the 'Tournament of Champions that Jeopardy has every so often, so probably 3 times at most (I'm almost positive it was more than once). Also, I actually came up with my prediction over the weekend so the scores obviously didn't factor into it; however I do feel like I was heavily biased toward a human winning this challenge, or at least winning one of the games. The human players have enough game-play advantages (anticipation, buzzing before they have an answer, etc.) that either Brad or Ken will be able to stay very close to Watson until Final Jeopardy, at which its anybody's game. Then again, as an optimistic Cub's fan, my track record for predictions is, well, less than stellar. :)
- throw_away 16y agoNote Rutter has never actually lost at Jeopardy (he has been behind on a daily total, but always pulled a win off in the end).
