For what its worth, here are TVBTN's predictions of shows that will be canceled (from: http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2013/10/06/bubble-watch-ironside-we-are-men-sean-saves-the-world-welcome-to-the-family-headed-to-cancellation-the-originals-super-fun-night-start-on-the-bubble/207079/ )
The subject header refers to the predictions being made early in the season, not to the predictions being that these shows will be cancelled early. Similarly, when they say "cancelled", they mean the show will not be renewed for next season, not necessarily that it will be taken off the current schedule (though that will happen to a fair number of these). These guys are pretty good at this (they do not just look at the absolute ratings, but also at how each show performs relative to other programs on the same night, and on the same network. They also take into account how a network is doing over all, so that, for example, a program with mediocre ratings on a high rated network might get cancelled, while a show with the same ratings on a network with low ratings might well get renewed), and also how many mid-season replacement series a network has ready to go, and syndication effects. Betrayal, We Are Men, Mom, Ironside, Welcome to the Family, and Sean Saves The World seem to be the shows most likely to disappear soon, though they think Sean may stick around just because NBC doesn't have anything better to replace it with right now. Brooklyn 9-9, which I like, is now ranked by TVBTN lower than Mindy (which is pretty bad). Both The Crazy Ones and Michael J Fox are predicted to get renewals, even though ratings for both are only so-so. They may change this judgement if some mid-season replacements shine unexpectedly. While they have Good Wife, The Mentalist and Hawaii Five-0 all predicted as cancelled, as is their habit they explain that their real prediction is that two of these three will be cancelled, with right now the edge going to Five-0.
