Best dates to get bumped in December

I'm doing quite a bit of flying during the month of December (all on Delta/Delta Connection) and would like to try and get as much VDB compensation as possible. I'm wondering when the best dates for this would be or if there's a tool to find out seat availability. I have reservations for the following (can modify the dates without a fee up until Dec. 10):

RIC-ATL-SLC-JAC on 12/11
JAC-SLC-LAX-SYD on 12/13 (getting into SYD on the 15)
SYD-LAX-ATL-RIC on 12/22 (long layover in LA, redeye to ATL)

Would I have better chances on other days or other routings (via MSP or DTW) or closer to xmas with the SYD-RIC leg? I'm fairly flexible with my plans.

Thanks!
