Black bishops:d7,c7
Black pawns:f7,g6,h6
White King:g1
White knights:c3,d4

Thank you.

With accurate play, I don't think either side could lose. I would've accepted a draw in that situation.

There are no passed pawns, and the only major difference is a bishop for a knight. Though Bishops generally have an advantage in the endgame because they can control both sides of the board at one time, all the play is focused on one side of the board, eliminating the Bishops advantage.

But hey, my RHP rating is only 1271. Don't take my word for it!

That is one weird position. I'd say Black wins with the bishops DEFINITELY and not a draw!

I would actually prefer white. Pawns on one side of the board favor Knights, so let's say that the light square bishops are traded off, and white trades off one of his knights for the black knight. This would leave white in a favorable Bishop vs. Knight situation, and a slightly better game (all imo of course)
