It's not up for cancellation, but rather, it's "on the bubble" meaning no one knows its fate - whether canceled or renewed.
For it: The network's ratings in general suck; the show isn't that expensive , it's got good PVR numbers, it's got critical success, decent ratings with key demographics and the network loves the show.
Against it: it's in one of the toughest time slots in prime time, ratings have been fairly steady (not really sinking but not really growing either); it's produced by Warner (so NBC doesn't share in DVD sales, international sales).
It could go either way.
In truth, I was more surprised that HEROES (which isn't pulling off much better ratings, is way more expensive and has been sagging) was renewed early!
We'll find out for sure next month. It's in the same boat as Sarah Connor Chronicles and Dollhouse, though I think Chuck has a better chance.
