Yes, the Romans were polytheistic. Yes, they believed in many gods. But their religious beliefs in no way provoked them to hate Jesus. The Romans did not hate him. Jesus was a nonentity to them. They didn't care about him one way or another. The Roman governor, Pilate, even tried repeatedly to release Jesus. Why would he do that if he hated him and was in a position to execute him?

There is no evidence that the Romans hated Jesus. Mark's Gospel says that Pontius Pilate tried to release Jesus on the pretext that he should release a prisoner during the Passover, but the people demanded that he crucify him, while Pilate asked, "Why? What evil has he done?" (15:6-14).
Perhaps you are thinking of a later period when the Christian followers of Jesus were hated because for one thing, they would not join in the pagan idolatry and refused to worship the emperor. Jesus himself, not being a political figure, nor seeking to set up any earthly kingdom in opposition to Rome was somewhat irrelevant to them at that time.
they hated both Jesus and the Jews but not all Romans hated them
they didn't like neither
The question is based on a false premise. The Roman government in Palestine was responsible for Jesus' execution. They would not have arrested him and executed him if they liked him. Rome was very corrupt in that regard. The Roman people did not like Jesus' message either until the Empire converted to Christianity in the 300s CE. Prior to that point, only 10% of Romans were Christians.
They didn't hate the Jews so much but during the Roman Republic/Empire they despised them, didn't let the practice their religion and sometimes even killed them. (For All I Know)
The hatred stemmed primarily from the fact that Jewish Zealots kept revolting against the Roman Empire.
Well for starters their leader did not favor those religions because the majority was atheist or believed in mythology. also the religions were new and people just hate jews.
At first they didn't. All they wanted was payment of taxes. Only after some of the people were accused of revolt, did the Romans begin to violently clamp down.

Why do people hate the Jews when it was the Italians who killed the Rabbi Jesus?
The Jews are blamed for the death of Jesus because it was the Jewish religious leaders who manipulated Herod and Pilate into crucifying Jesus by charging Jesus with breaking certain Jewish laws making him worthy of death. The Romans would have rather released Jesus that day and crucified Barabbas. But the Jewish mobs at the behest of the Jewish leaders clamored for the release of Barabbas and the crucifixion of Jesus.
