Kornacki — who became a viral sensation in November for his election updates — was called on to break down the NFL playoff picture on NBC’s “Football Night in America” … and stayed true to form.
Fast talking, lots of numbers, some hypothesizing … and, of course, the trademark khaki pants!
Among the highlights, Kornacki pointed out the NY Giants’ playoff chances jumped from 30% to 45% with a win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday … and he expects that number to grow further.
Over in the AFC, Kornacki was impressed with the Cleveland Browns — pointing out they have a 97% shot at making the post-season.
“it’s not quite 100% … but they are 97% away to the first one (playoff appearance) in 18 years,” he said with a smile.
Kornacki tweeted about the move to football — saying, “Been a fan for years and it’s incredibly exciting to get a chance to take part in Sunday Night Football.”
