MS-Wicker-R has to lose in the Republican Primary to Chris McDaniel-R. Democrats have to nominate Brandon Presley-D.
NE-Fischer-R has to lose in the Republican Primary. Raybould-D will have to win big in NE-1CD(Lincoln Metro Area) and NE-2CD(Omaha Metro Area)
UT-Evan McMullin-I has to run splitting the Republican vote allowing Wilson-D to win with a plurality of vote.
WY-Barrasso-R has to lose in the Republican Primary to Erik Prince-R. Trauner-D will have to remind WY voters about Prince's shenanigans.
2020 could give Democrats 60 seats if Democrats hold onto AL-Jones-D(Tossup), MI-Peters-D(Lean Democratic),MN-Smith-D(Lean Democratic),NH-Shaheen-D(Lean Democratic) and VA-Warner-D(Lean Democratic) plus pick up
AZ in either 2018 or 2020 Special Election. Republicans will nominate an Arpaio type candidate.
CO-Hickenlooper-D or Perlmutter-D will defeat Gardner-R by a double digit margin.
MT-Bullock-D will turn MT into a Tossup.

...if trend keeps up

Generic congressional ballot dems +20-25 would do the trick.

That would also probably translate to a good 300+ congressional seats
