To finish 5th, I think they will need to go 8-6 for sure, and probably 9-5

I'm not sure 5th to 7th makes a difference in quality of opponent. If you finish 5 you are getting one of Chicago or Minnesota. If you finish 6 or 7 you got one of Tampa or Oakland.
Also, for the time being, I just want to clinch a playoff spot, then target #2 in the division. Then hopefully set our sights on Tampa and 1st in the east.
