The Hawthorn star, priced at $251 at the start of the season, has firmed into $11 and has been the best backed player by punters this week.
Gary Ablett ($4.25), Robbie Gray ($6.50) and Josh Kennedy ($10) remain amongst the top hopes.
“It has really only been the last month that Jordan Lewis has been considered a real chance. He doesn’t have a history of polling, but punters are coming from everywhere to back him and think he is value at $11,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.
A few punters were smart enough to get on Lewis at big odds, including one punter who bet $25 at $501 (a return of $12,525) and another who bet $100 at $251 (a return of $25,100).
Some other smart Brownlow bets include:
