This would be assuming a contested convention with Bernie winning a plurality of the delegates.

Since 1908, they have predicted 20 of the 26 nominees.

And then when Bernie Sanders goes on to beat Trump, it'll be fun watching the right wingers go apoplectic!

To win on 2nd ballot, Sanders will have to win at least a majority of the Superdelegates with the exact amount being unknown. It could happen if the majority of superdelegates feel that the candidate with the highest pledged delegate count should win. But if Biden & Bloomberg delegates and possibly others don't want to go that way, they might try to cobble together a coalition. Maybe it works to yield a different winner, maybe it gets some sort of concessions from Sanders on VP, platform and other things.
