Jack Smith is the prosecutor, not a defense attorney. With that being said, I think you're accidentally right. I don't think Smith would push so hard for SCotUS to rule if he thought they were going to rule against him.
I am not sure about Smith's motivation being about how they will rule but rather because that is where it will end up one way or the other. This just gets it there faster, and time is of the essence.
