Definitely not. Your implied odds are through the roof pre-flop if you're playing a weak-tight player. You also have position and get to realize a lot more equity on average, like if he continuation bets 2

boards with AK and gives up on a lot of different turn cards, for example.
Post-flop on this board, your reverse implied odds are awful. You are hoping to be drawing to a 2 outer, the board, as it is, is awful for your particular hand. Most turn cards make the board worse for your particular hand. Most importantly, you have tons of hands in your calling distribution that do much better in this spot than 77.
Just once more, I cannot stress how much of a mistake it would be to fold 77 pre-flop in this instance.
