Hello all, what are ya'lls thoughts on my overall chances of getting a job next year with my current stats assuming nothing else changes btw now and eras submission. 
Step 1 255+
Step 2 255+
Preclinical - All Honors
Clinical - All Honors
AOA at mid-tier state school
Research - 2 first author from undergrad, 2 posters from med school, all non-nsgy related 
Anticipation letters to be just okay, nothing exceptional but no red flags either.
Will be doing 2 aways at midtier programs.
Decided on NSG late 3rd year

Any general advice would be much appreciated

You'll match unless your aways go poorly. Why do you say your letters are going to be okay? Home letters are good but generic most of the time. The lack of neurosurgery research is going to hurt unless those are basic science papers in good journals.

You'll be fine. At worst you might match at your home program.
