How can they do that when the numbers we're looking at only show 51% listed?

projecting...also they know which precincts have been tallied...and it appears from the latest update that Busby's strongest precincts have laready been counted...

The prediction is just a statistical probability. In order for Busby to win, She would have to get roughly 5 % more of the uncounted votes in order to be counted. That would be a 10% swing from the trend thus far. IE it would have to be Busby 50% and Bilbray 45%. That would be an extremely improbable change in the trend. It's so improbable, even the Rats probably can't fudge it
