Predicting an outcome on an appellate case is like reading tea leaves. There could well be $1,000,000 spent on appellate briefs in this case.
When the US Supreme Court accepts a case, you can rest assured that there are some serious issues in the case that need to be resolved. Off hand, I can't think of any cases with similar facts upon which the supreme court might base a decision.
It seems like the trial judge did everything correctly that he could. He had a jury decide the important fact issues, including determining the amount of damages. That a jury awarded the Plaintiff a mult-million dollar verdict is not a trivial issue.
