He seems pretty weak after the river, do you think I can win by checking or are hands like 77/88 in his range that I could maybe fold out?

Check. I think your hand wins enough at SD, and his better hands call your bet enough, that betting here as a bluff is a mistake.

He bet into 2 people on the turn with an extremely drawy board, I think he has you beat. OTOH, bluffing in position on the river in small pots which have had little action rarely works (that is, you can rarely get someone to fold if they have a hand with any showdown value), so I'd check.
