Chester Jets +1 v London United -1 1.83 Bet365
Plymouth +2 v Sheffield -2 1.83 Bet 365

I have left it very late today so sorry about that. I have to go out soon so not much time for analysis but I am going for both London United and Sheffield tonight. Both are away and both have long journeys but as the season is beginning to settle a bit it appears clear that Chester will struggle this year and london United will eXceed early season expectations. London should be too strong.
Sheffield alwauys produce a stronger team than they look on paper and their record so far this year shows this trend could continue. Plymouth are useful but no more and will be mid table this season. Sheffield for me tonight.

Saturday 28 October 2006. Tip Off 7.30pm BST
Worcester +9 v Milton Keynes -9 1.87 Pinnacle

I am going for Milton Keynes with the handicap although various spreads are available from 7 to 9 I have settled on this one.
Worcester won their only game on 7 October and since then have lost four straight all by double figures. Their last two games have been by 49 points and 25 Points. They played last night at Newcastle and will have had a long journey back after another big defeat.
This will be the third time they have played MK this year, they lost the other two away from home by 90-74 and 83-70. Mk did not play last night and it is only a relatively short journey to Worcester.
I think Milton Keynes could win by 10 or more. 5 points on them

London United 1.56 v Scottish Rocks 2.66 Pinnacle.

I am going for Scottish Rocks here. They had a bad start to the season but won their last two against good sides in Newcastle and Leicester so it looks like they have turned the corner. Their imports are beginning to settle which was what held them back at the start.
They also did not play last night which could be crucial tonight as London had a 5 hour journey back from Chester after gaining a hard fought 2 point victory over the hosts. On Paper their squad does not look quite as good as the Rocks so the 2.66 looks great value for another 5 point stake.
