I won't attempt to do it by districts, but a Democratic gain 28 to 38 seats.  

Some things of note:

In 2018, far from being a disaster for the Democrats, was not a bad year, they gained 6 seats in the House.

In by-elections, Democrats gained 3 seats.

They could get 2/3 of the votes they lost since 2010, and probably get at least half back.  

There are five vacancies.  Totals are Democratic 193, Republican 237, vacancies 5.  I expect those to beak down 4D/1R.  (197 D/238 R)

My guess that the Democrats will get 230 seats, +/-5,  Republican getting around 205 +/-5.  It is a bit more likely to slide up for the Democrats.  About D gain of 37 seats, counting the vacancies.

If it is below 225 D, Pelosi will have problem. 

Off the Democrat's low point, 2014, they would be gaining 42 seats +/- 5

No one will be more surprised than me if the Republicans hold the House.

I'm not ready to do a district-by-district prediction just yet, but it's a lot easier to get into the 40+ range than I thought. I think I said +47 in a prediction topic awhile ago and I think that's roughly what we're going to get. I'm thinking Democrats gain 45-50 seats, basically a mirror of the current House Majority. Obviously, that's a not a final prediction. We'll see how the remaining few weeks go, but I think the current district polling and overall environment is indicative of a tsunami not unlike 1994 or 2010.

Between 205 and 230 for BOTH parties (most likely - between 210 and 225). A lot of factors may be decisive with very high number of close races - even wheather in different parts of US on ED...

Dems 230-205
Dems will have 51 senators
Dems will have 25+ GOVS

As I stated before only 1 or 2 times have the House flipped without the Senate, and this election all three branches will have flipped.

For some reason CA-10 comes up as Safe Dem, when I had it as Lean Dem.

Funny how Democrats only carried 3 of the 12 sure gains in the OP while actually winning the house.
