Packers Sixth Most Likely Team to Win the Super Bowl After 4 Games

Four games into the 2014 season, the Packers, at 14-1 odds, are the sixth most likely team to win Super Bowl XLIX, OddsShark.com reports.

The five teams ahead of them, unsurprisingly, are the 49ers, Chargers, Bengals, Broncos and Seahawks, who are listed at 12-1, 10-1, 9-1, 9-2, and 4-1, respectively.

As for the other NFC North squads, the Vikings (75-1), Bears (40-1), and Lions (20-1), they weren't considered as likely to succeed, something that can probably be attributed to Green Bay also being the favorite to win the division.

According to Bleacher Report, the Pack's line should improve next week if they win Thursday.

Free Agent Safety Jim Leonhard Has "Had Conversations" With The Packers

Free Agent Safety Jim Leonhard has "had conversations" with the Packers as well as other teams, NFL.com's Marc Sessler reports. 

Leonhard, a 10 year NFL veteran, played for the Bills in 2013, recording a career-high four interceptions as Buffalo went 4-12.

Earlier this offseason, interestingly, the 31 year-old actually said that he has plans to retire after the upcoming fall, something that could end up luring him to Green Bay, as they obviously give him the best chance of winning a Super Bowl.

Leonhard, 31, has been in the league since 2005, recording 385 tackles from then until now.
