Daniel Wallach has been following the case closely and has a long post about the odds faced by NJ. It boils down, in his view, to the following math:

With New Jersey needing seven votes to win (and with three already leaning towards the leagues, with only two seemingly in the New Jersey camp), five out of the remaining seven judges would have to side with New Jersey in order for the state to prevail on rehearing. That’s not impossible, but daunting nevertheless.

I'd take those odds, though 4 out of 7 is considerably better and just as likely as 5 of 7. There's wiggle room in Wallach's assessments. Hoping he's wrong about at least one of the judges.
Hearing begins 11am this morning in Philadelphia.
