These Thursday games have all been blowouts, and usually the home team is doing it. Might be a good tip for your Pick 5's the rest of the season. The theory on ESPN is that Thursday games don't give the travel team enough time to practice.

Ouch!
Looks like I got my pick in after kickoff. So I don't know if it counts or not.
Can I get a ruling either way? Since when does football start at 6:30?
My understanding of the rules is that if the pick is posted after kickoff the results are not counted, win or lose - essentially the same as if you mistakenly picked 4 games instead of 5. You won't get a tally in the lost column, but you don't get to pick a replacement game either.
My understanding of the rules is that every time someone violates a rule, LOL gets an extra win! Chachinnngg!
It was in the fine print somewhere. Bwhaahahahaha!
If you want to be, press one. If you want not to be, press 2
Republicans are red, democrats are blue, neither of them, gives a flip about you.

Well, my thought would be you take the loss. Had they won, you wouldn't have brought it up. Kind of like a penalty in football. If you pick late, you lose either the pick or the game, and I have no interest in tracking one person with one less pick. Pretty much, if you get flagged for a rule, you lose a down.
I did the same a couple of years ago…..picked after games started, and I lost all the games I picked. You only lost a game…I lost 3 in the pick 3!
Too bad future generations aren't here to see all the great things we are spending their $$ on!!

Actually I noticed it early when the game was still 7-0, but dinner and stuff got in the way. I would have brought it up either way. The question of my integrity is misplaced. Track it in whatever manner you choose. I am sure the leaders in this entertaining online game are shaking in their boots.
