I don't think FOX/CBS can protect games in week 17.
Per Wiki:

Fox and CBS may each protect five games for the 1 p.m. or 4 p.m. slot. However, they may not protect more than one game per week, and can not protect any games in week 17.

This (from the same wiki article) is not correct according to the NBC statement posted earlier:
Quote:

All games in the final week of the season are subject to being moved to 8:15 p.m.

So the wiki article may not be very accurate. I'll try to find a more reliable source.
I'm 95% sure the Eagles/Cowboys game will be on Sunday night.
