I don't even think Boris really thinks that's possible but it's in his interests for his loyal followers to continue thinking that it is.
It's his game of brinkmanship and he'll blame everyone but himself when it doesn't happen. After messing with the courts, he now knows that his privileges do not extend to ignoring the law of the United Kingdom.

If he is as popular as you believe then why not:
1) Request an extension to January 2020.
2) Call an election on a promise to leave and win that election.
3) Advise the EU that the UK is leaving.
