PA(OPEN Toomey-R) is the only US Senate seat up for re-election in 2022 that will definitely flip.

PA is an open seat in a weak blue(Biden-D) state and plenty of top tier Democratic candidates.
Wolf-D(term limited from seeking another term for Governor)
Fetterman-D(current Lt. Governor likely to run either for the US Senate or Governor)
Shapiro-D(current Attorney General likely to run either for the US Senate or Governor)
Boyle-D(US Representative from PA-2cd)
Houlahan-D(US Representative from PA-6cd)
Lamb-D(US Representative from from PA-17cd)
Democrats will pick up WI(Johnson-R) and NC(OPEN Burr-R) if 2022 is a Democratic wave election year.
Democratic candidates in WI(Johnson-R)
Barnes-D(current Lt. Governor)
Kaul-D(current Attorney General)
Godlewski-D(current Treasurer)
Pocan-D(US Representative from WI-2)
Democratic candidates in NC(OPEN Burr-R)
Jackson-D(current state senator)
Smith-D(former state senator and 2020 Democratic US Senate candidate)
Governor Cooper-D is unlikely to run for the US Senate in 2022 because the current Lt. Governor is a Republican but is likely to run for the US Senate in 2026 against Tillis-R.
Democrats will hold onto
GA(Warnock-D)
AZ(Kelly-D vs Ducey-R)
NV(Cortez Masto-D vs Sandoval-R)
NH(Hassan-D vs Sununu-R)

Not saying it doesn't lean Blue, but nothing is 100% after this last election. You're also assuming Warnock wins in January.

We’re good. They’re all very popular and we DO outvote the Pennsyltucky part of the state most of the time.
