NFL's L.A. TV schedule Week 6: We smell baseball

Game 3 of the Dodgers-Phillies NLCS from Dodger Stadium (Fox Channel 11, 5 p.m.) goes head-to-head with the San Diego Chargers' home game against New England (NBC Channel 4, 5:15 p.m.) as the marquee sporting event to witness on Sunday.

(And while TBS has a day off from its ALCS, it does have a Sunday lineup that includes classic dude flicks such as "Encino Man," "Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo" and "Joe Dirt," it goes head-to-head with MLB and NFL with back-to-back showings of the 2003 Chris Rock-Bernie Mac masterpiece, "Head of State" from 5 to 8:30 p.m.)

What will Tom Brady be more mildly interested in smelling watching?

Otherwise, it's a look-in at the new, improved Oakland Raiders against Reggie Bush and the Saints as the only thing worth waking up early for, with another heapin' helping of them Cowboys in the PM:

SUNDAY:

==10 a.m., Channel 2: Oakland at New Orleans (with Kevin Harlan and Rich Gannon). For this market, CBS skips Cincinnati at N.Y. Jets (with Dick Enberg, Randy Cross and Dan Fouts), Baltimore at Indianapolis (with Jim Nantz and Phil Simms) and Miami at Houston.

==10 a.m., Channel 11: Chicago at Atlanta (with Thom Brennaman and Brian Billick). Fox's games in this window are Carolina at Tampa Bay, St. Louis at Washington and Detroit at Minnesota.

==1 p.m., Channel 11: Dallas at Arizona (with Dick Stockton, all baseball'd out now that his TBS stint has ended, sitting in for Joe Buck -- who'll be at the Dodger-Phillies game -- Troy Aikman, Pam Oliver). Fox could have also shown Green Bay at Seattle or Philadelphia at San Francisco. CBS also has an intriguing Jacksonville at Denver (with Greg Gumbel and Dan Dierdorf) in this window.

==5:15 p.m., Channel 4: New England at San Diego (with Al Michaels and John Madden)

MONDAY

==5:30 p.m., ESPN: N.Y. Giants at Cleveland (starring Ron Jaworski, with supporting roles from Mike Tirico and Tony Kornheiser)
