I'm not sure if they'll pick up anything, but it's very likely that the Dems will lose seats- there's 8 Republican seats (MS, TN, AZ, NE, UT, NV, WY) and 23 Democratic seats up- 9 of which are probably safe for Dems (MA [although this is Warren, who is certainly vulnerable to a Republican since she won by a small margin], RI, CT, NY, NJ, DE, MD, CA, WA) and 14 of which are in red states or battleground states (NH, PA, WV, VA, FL, OH, IN, MI, WI, MN, MO, ND, MT, NM) plus two independent seats (one in ME, which is more Republican than in 2012 and could go three ways and VT, which is Bernie Sanders who is definitely safe). If the Republicans don't lose any seats (if this happens, the only plausible loss is NV) and get every Dem seat not in one of the 9 safe states, they'd have a 66 seat majority in the senate.
