The SNP isn't the reason the Tories stand to lose. It's the fact the Tories are weaker in England than they should be in order to win an election as well as their historical weaknesses in Wales & Scotland meaning they depend on running up the score in England.
You say the English Tory voters are in the majority but it's a very small majority and they're trounced by the left-wing regions.

I think the Lib Dems sabotaging the long-overdue boundary changes may have something to do with it as well, putting a kibosh on the proposal to have constituencies made up of the same numbers of voters....
