It's not pride if you give fair warning that you just actually are that good. The devil was the boastful one challenging someone and not being able to back it up

The boy said, "My name's Johnny and it might be a sin
But I'm gon' take your bet and you're gonna regret
I'm the best there's ever been"

He's boasting about it before, and gloating about it after. But the devil is expected to sin, so it doesn't matter. Johnny on the other hand knows he's being boastful, and goes and does it anyway.

As a professional baseball(?) player once said, "It's not bragging if you can do it."
