Oddysseus and his men knew that if they failed to make the proper libations and offerings, they could anger the gods, resulting in calamities befalling them. Besides there would be times when they needed the help of the gods, and it is always best to keep the gods happy.
Most of Odysseus's men die in the land of Thrinacia, because of their hunger. On this land was the cattle of the gods, and Odysseus had warned his men not to touch the cattle. The men were however, too hungry and they ate the cattle, angering the gods. The gods then killed every man except for Odysseus.
They didn't sacrifice something for them.

Circe is a goddess.
While Odysseus is praying, his men commit the crime of consuming the cattle of the sun god, Helios, a direct violation of Odysseus's warning not to do so. This act leads to their downfall and punishment by the gods.
Odysseus' men thought that inside in the bag contained some sort of treasure (gold, silver, riches, something from the gods) that Odysseus was trying to keep hidden away, so that he could have it all to himself.
The cyclops violates xenia by not offering hospitality to Odysseus and his men when they arrive on his island. Instead of welcoming them with food and shelter, the cyclops imprisons them in his cave and eats some of Odysseus's men. This goes against the customs of hospitality and guest-friendship.
Because they killed the livestock and ate them, so the gods got mad!
