Those are meaningless trends. I bet most of those go back to before O'Brien was here. Football plays such few games that every trend is either small sample size from a data perspective, or it has to go so far back to get a decent sample size that the data is meaningless. Or both.
I guarantee if Houston loses it won't have anything to do with whether Houston ran for over 150 yards last week.
Basically the giant amount of money bet on football leads to artificial data mining and 'trends' so you can have something to offer as a prognosticator.
