Chicago Bears Super Bowl prediction delivered by former NFL executive Louis Riddick
CHICAGO BEARS will not lose anymore games season as they progress through the playoffs to Atlanta and win the Super Bowl.
This is the bold claim made by former NFL safety and NFL executive Louis Riddick.
Riddick, appearing on Get Up! on ESPN, predicted the Bears have what it takes to progress through the playoffs and win Super Bowl LIII.
"The [Minnesota] Vikings are an awfully talented football team, but I just believe in what Matt Nagy has constructed, along with GM Ryan Pace up there in Chicago," Riddick said.
"I don't think this team loses anymore this year. I think they go all the way down to Atlanta.

Just let me up the ante, I think they win it. I think they win it all
“Just let me up the ante, I think they win it. I think they win it all."
Host Mike Greenberg was shocked by Riddick’s prediction and insisted his statement wasn’t scripted before the show aired.
"I believe in ball control," Riddick added.
"I believe in running the football. I believe on being multiple on offence and I believe in playing stifling defence with good special teams.

“Tell me where they can't do that.
“The key here is Mitch Trubisky - I’ve said this all year long, just don’t turn the ball over and hit the opportunistic big plays.”
Going into the final game of the regular season Mitch Trubisky, who is in his second year in the NFL, has thrown for 3,060 yards, has 24 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.
The 24-year-old, who was the second overall pick in the 2017 draft, has a quarterback rating of 96 this season.
Riddick, who is well-respected across the NFL, believes other teams have “fantastic players” but don’t match up to the Bears 53-man roster.
“The chiefs have a generational quarterback, who will probably go down as one of the best quarterbacks to play in all time,” Roddick said.
“The [Baltimore] Ravens are playing dominant, dominant defence, with a grind it out type offence.
“The [New England] Patriots you can never discount.
“The saints don’t have any speed on the perimeter, they just don’t. I’m telling you, if you come down on this offence and you pressure them, you can actually stifle this offence - its already been proven.”
The Bears, who are 11-4, have already won in the NFC North title and clinched a playoff spot as they prepare to face their divisional rivals the Minnesota Vikings.
Their final regular season game will see offensive lineman Kyle Long return to the Bears active roster, which will be a boost for head coach Matt Nagy.
Chicago’s head coach Matt Nagy insists his side will approach their Week 17 game with the same mentality as their previous games.
“We’re going to play our guys,” Nagy said of the Bears starters.
“Like I’ve been saying to our team and everybody all week long, we’re playing to win.
“So that’s our mentality, and we’re not treating this any different than any other week.”
