I think they will reduce the numbers a little. If this season ends above average, it will probably be close to the numbers predicted by TSR.

I predicted they’ll leave them at be due to the uncertainty created by a super hot Atlantic during and super El Niño.

Ditto, what CFL said. They'll be "holding-pat", as if sitting in some smokey cloud filled room that lacks ventilation or even adequately cool air.... All huddled around some small table that incessantly teeters regardless how many packs of sweet & low have been shoved under one or more bum table legs, holding their drawn cards close to the vest in one hand, while nervously eyeing the most recent Pacific SST's & ENSO update on their cell phone in the other. Beads of sweat begin to form followed by some twitching by a few - a few poorly concealed sideway glances by yet a few others. ALL of them
holding their collective breaths hoping, in fact praying that "someone else" will be the first to lower their seasonal tropical cyclone forecast first. Their anxiety is palpable but no one budges. Not yet anyway. Not until its too late.

This isn't (and won't be) a Super El Nino, but I agree that they will leave them as is (as they should)

Leave the numbers the same was the ample winner of this poll.
