Considering that it is a 40 page paper, his odds must be pretty good then.
If your criticisms are fair, your paper is consistent, well written, and adheres to the specifications your department requires, go ahead and submit it, regardless of who will be reading it. Be prepared to offer ways to improve upon the method, or alternative solutions to the process entirely. If the professor in question does not give your paper due consideration because of his or her own work or personal feelings on the matter, then he or she is not being objective (which is one of the worst infractions any scientist could commit).
If it's a good prof, they'll enjoy the challenge to their theory. I've challenged my professors before and it's led to some interesting debates.
My experience in academia has been that your ability to support your arguments and research matters more than your conclusions. Even on the LSAT, it only matters that you can form a rational argument, not which side you argue for.
You might try giving the professor the benefit of the doubt as being at very least open to criticism instead of letting him know you are NOT in advance!
If he's a true academic, he will welcome the criticism.
I really hope you won't apply for college, 14. If you even graduated high school with that English.

Awww. Maybe he'll appreciate that you actually studied him and made an effort :)
I'm sure he'll enjoy a good challenge. What's the point of knowledge if not to be challenged?
