Yes, I reckon it will get through Parliament.
There seem to have been quite a few Remainer MPs who have talked about their difficulties in feeling that they were at odds with their Brexit constituents.
My 2p are that the Government shouldn't bother appealing. They need to just crack on with it and involve parliament. A majority of MPs aren't going to vote against the referendum result, so ultimately Art. 50 will happen.
Yes, it looks like a "loss" now, but I think at this stage with public opinion still behind them they can spin it. Running the risk of delays and a possible second loss down the line will = a drop in public opinion.
Plus not appealing also means that they already have an excuse to push the March deadline back (which I reckon they would have done anyway).

The awkward part will be Lords. But I don't think they can do that much more than send the bill back for amendments (i.e. add things like approval on a final deal etc.)
Will be interesting to see if there is an election.
