As of today all Republican held seats seem safe. But Rasmussen has 3 Democratic seats currently rated Sold GOP: Arkansas, Indiana, and North Dakota. Also, three others are rated Lean GOP: Colorado, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. With those seats alone Republicans would gain six seats. Illinois is and has been even for some time, and Nevada and Washington have drifted between even and a slight lead for the incumbent. Finally West Virginia has become even recently as the race has become nationalized.
If I were to guess I would say Republicans would pick up: Arkansas, Indiana, North Dakota, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and West Virginia. That's 7.
They will also pick up at least one, but possibly two or three of the following: Illinois, Washington, and Nevada. That's 8-10 seats.
My prediction: A 9 seat gain for Republicans. That would give us a 50/50 Senate with the two independents siding with the Democrats and Vice President Biden breaking the tie.

Mammal,
This has nothing to do with your post.
I'm a prolife conservative atheist.
I've begun a group for people like us on Facebook (Prolife Conservative Nontheists). Please check it out and let me know what you think. I'd love to have you join. I think there are quite a few of us out there and I'd like for there to be at least one place on the map where we can gather.
Thanks for your time.
-Chris
