Well, because Obi-Wan wouldn't really be much good helping the other Jedi team up on Sidious just as he wasn't any good helping Anakin with Dooku the best bet would be for Obi-Wan to take on Mace. The I can see Anakin, Kit and Qui-Gon being able to kill Sidious since Anakin alone is close to him, though Kit will probably die and Qui-Gon might, too. And Kenobi will be able to defeat Maul, so the Jedi win.
The darksiders take this. Sidious owned Kit, who is about as good as Qui-gon in my book. Sidious takes Qui-gon, and Kit in less then thirty seconds, then proceeds to defeat Obi-wan a short time after. Maul is easily capable of fighting off Anakin for at least as long as it would take for Sidious to defeat the other three and assist him.
Sidious isn't much better than Anakin,
Anakin defeated Count Dooku, but it was a difficult fight. According to George Lucas, Dooku's potential didn't come close to Palpatine's own, which implies that Sidious could defeat Dooku in an all out fight without it being "epic".
Anakin and Palpatine are close in lightsaber combat (and this is when Palpatine is thirteen years out of practice) and I've never denied it. But, Anakin (at this point) is quite a bit below the likes of Palpatine, Yoda and Mace (and perhaps Dooku) in terms of the Force.
Sidious > Anakin by the time of Revenge of the Sith.
and I would put Fisto slightly higher than Maul.
I don't see Maul being slaughtered by anyone in about three seconds, in a sheer lightsaber duel, which was what happened to Kit when he fought against Palpatine.
There is also the fact that Sidious won't mesh well with Maul due to his saber staff.
Well, firstly, Maul was personally trained by Palpatine from infancy. I'd say that they know how the other fights, and can become coordinated with it.
Secondly, in any case, what does it matter? This isn't like it's Anakin and Obi-Wan versus Count Dooku, where they are fighting a single opponent. Sidious is taking on three of them, while Maul is holding off Anakin.
What I predict:
- Palpatine WTFpwns Qui-Gon and Kit Fisto, either via his superior lightsaber skills or his vastly superior Force powers. They're dead, either way.
- Maul proceeds to hold off Anakin (Anakin > Maul, yes, but Anakin won't be killing him in a few seconds)
- Palpatine then either kills Obi-Wan (who is his inferior in all aspects) by either pulling a Dooku and obliterating him with the Force, or overcoming him with his Force assaults and saber moves.
- Palpatine then proceeds to either a) save Maul or b) watch as Maul is disembowled by Anakin, and then kills Anakin.
The jedi have this in the bag.

If Sidious ends up killing Anakin, how do the Jedi have this in the bag?

Do people actually think TPM Maul is better than ROTS Obiwan, because I personally don't. Not to mention that it was only Dooku who was capable of breaking through Obiwan's defenses.
Dooku did that with the Force. Obi-Wan's defenses aren't impenetrable, but they are perhaps the best in the movies. But his offense sucks.
